Which citizenship, status or regional agreement creates the person's right to move/reside?

British citizens do not require leave to enter and must prove their right of abode. Irish citizens who, under section 3ZA of the Immigration Act 1971, do not require leave are outside the Immigration Rules unless the Rules say otherwise.

Limits of the record
  • Common Travel Area arrangements and Isle of Man work permit rules under separate employment legislation were not checked.

Under which circumstances can the person reside: worker, self-employed, student, jobseeker, self-funded person or another recognised basis?

Answer not available

What entry, registration or residence-document formalities remain?

No immigration registration is described. A British citizen proves right of abode with a UK passport describing them as a British citizen (or citizen of the UK and Colonies with right of abode), or with a certificate of entitlement. The official source does not state the documents Irish citizens need at entry.

Which non-member-country family members can accompany or join, and what broad rights do they receive?

Partners (both aged 18 or over) and children of a British citizen can apply for entry clearance as family members under Appendix FM, including its financial requirements; a partner gets permission to stay for 2.5 years, then must apply for further leave to remain. A non-British child of an Irish citizen is eligible under the EU Settlement Scheme for the status the parent could get, or indefinite or limited leave to remain based on the child's own residence. The official source does not state the work, study or public funds rights of these family members.

When do permanent/long-term rights arise and what continuity, absence or retention conditions matter?

An Irish citizen who does not require leave under section 3ZA of the Immigration Act 1971 is considered settled for the purposes of the Rules. The official source does not state any continuity or absence rules.

Limits of the record
  • British citizens' right of abode is not stated as time-limited, but no explicit permanence wording was quoted.
