Foreign Holidays Illegal

Perhaps they just (stupidly) jumped the gun

"From 30 March, entry to Spain will only be granted to those passengers who can demonstrate that their journey is essential"

"he found seats on an easyJet flight coming to Alicante on March 26"

When I heard of people being turned back earlier this week I thought they were tempting fate flying early.

On another note, Mrs BL's Eire passport has turned up now - so as her spouse I am applying this weekend.

No doubt about it if you are a holder of an Irish passport the virus will not infect you. I am told by a reliable source that Coronavirus and Guinness do not mix.

Double jabbed and PCR tested just before flying will mean the Guinness is just a bonus

I’m entitled to an Irish passport as mother Irish but haven’t got around to it yet as never thought I’d need it, my sons got them as thought they may need them if they wish to work in Europe post Brexit.

I searched for an Irish ancestor to stay a member of the EU without luck

Another door may be opening....................Mrs G has an Eire passport as although born in the UK her father was Irish; as her spouse can I have an Irish passport (I didn't think so) or is Mrs BL Irish by birth and that's the difference. Like B&WS I searched in vain for a Irish ancestor.

Another loophole exploited by Stanley J - he's got a French passport and a house in Greece.

I might take up another free trial of 'Ancestry.com' or 'Find My Past' or similar.

I can really recommend those DNA tests that trace the location of your ancestors. For £120 I discovered that Louis Armstrong might be my uncle.

Out of interest how far can you go back to qualify for a EU passport ?

I think it is difficult to go back further than 1066.

If you’re a child of an Irish born person you are automatically entitled to a passport, as a grand child the paperwork & forms are a lot more complicated, we had to get copies of our birth, marriage certificate, my mothers birth/marriage certificate & her parents birth/marriage certificates which was time consuming as they were born 1906 .

I found out that I may be related to Ghengis Khan, but so apparently are millions of other people.
