Can a gay New Zealander with an Irish passport bring his Argentinian husband to the UK to work?
|
My best friend is gay, and is engaged to an Argentinian man. Although he currently holds a New Zealand passport (where they both live), he has been told that he is also eligible to apply for an Irish passport because his grandparents were Irish.
If he gets an Irish passport, he'll then be able to live and work in the UK for a few years - but what about his boyfriend? As they will already be 'married' by then, will his Argentinian partner also be allowed to live and work in the UK?

Some idiots answer here.
The answer is yes. EU citizens are allowed to bring their forreign born, non EU spouses (gay or straight) to the UK to live and work.
It is actually easier for non UK, EU residents to bring their partners to the UK to live and work than UK citizens to bring their partners to live and work. This is because you are only coming for a limited time, not looking for permanent residence, and so are required to provide much less proof of the nature of your relationship.
If your friend wanted to take his boyfriend to Ireland, that would be much harder. |

I have my doubts. I think that our government refuses to recognise gay marriage as genuine marriage and therefore the citizenship could be an issue. |

No such thing as gay husband, gay partner (civil),The word husband means spouse of woman. and no he should not. |

You must find out if the UK recognizes gay marriages or civil unions and if only a union if that suffices for visa status. Otherwise, the Argentinian may have to apply on his own. |

I would say yes. I have a gay friend who is German and he is married to a brazilian. They both live and work in Glasgow. But he had to vouch for him so if they get into trouble it is : bye, bye ! Might depend on where they get married as well though. |

LOL..sounds like a bit of a mes to me. On a more serious note, I think he may be able to if he gets his passport for Ireland as they are also in the EU. Don't know what his wife/husband/eunoch would do though. |

they need to check with their local British Embassy or Consulate to be sure that gay unions are recognized...
I think he will be able to with his Irish residence - as it's good all over Europe.
As for his boyfriend/partner/husband ... I think so, but they should check to be sure...
Sorry for all the people who gave offensive answers above (and below)
Hope this helps

You can only get a passport from the country you were born in, even if he could get a passport it would be a British passport not Irish. |
