Re: Euro Passport
interesting development in the French elections. Marine le pen has said she would bar French citizens from also holding citizenship of non EU countries with the exception of Russia.The article describes her as "an admirer of vladimir putin". A lot of those around...is it a new religion?

Re: Euro Passport
I know it is going off topic but at least we no longer have to endure those dreadful photo booth's for our passport photos where one has to stand and wait until the photos pop out of the machine, take a look and think..OMG! that photo is going to be for the whole world to see!.As from now, it is okay for someone to take your passport photos with a mobile phone camera (selfie), transfer to your computer and print them off, enclosing them with your application either online or by envelope in the post. You are not of course, allowed to take it yourself. someone else must
take your photos and you are still not allowed to smile!
The bonus of course is if you don't like your photo's you can bloomin delete them until you get the ones you like. Yeah !!

Re: Euro Passport
For my last passport my husband took the picture with a digital camera and we emailed it to a place in Germany who made it fit the right size and sent us six copies . ( all for £6 !) They also fixed the back ground which for some reason had come out a greyish blue.If you take your pic in a booth one usually comes out looking like a startled criminal !
To avoid this there are ways to improve ones passport picture
For a start take it in natural light .
Keep you mouth closed but smile slightly brace your teeth a bit and smile with your eyes .
Powder your face .
This somehow stops light reflection or something but makes the photo look better .
Take a several pics one it's going to be with you for 10 years
So one best to get one that doesn't frighten the horses or at least the grandchildren .

Re: Euro Passport
What a load of uninformed rubbish.First the idea of having an EU passport after Brexit has only been mentioned. It cannot happen yet because the legislation necessary to allow it to happen has not yet been discussed let alone passed. It would take all the EU nations to agree. So if Brits want one they had better behave.
If you can prove your father was French when he registered your birth then you can claim French nationality. There are various websites which explain it and the process. But it take time and translating documents by official French approved translators. It costs about 30 euros a page.
With an EU passport you can avoid long queues into and out of European countries and can more easily do business there or hold a bank account without extra checks, be subject to the same laws across the whole of the EU so if you go to for example Hungary and get into trouble you know the same laws apply there as in France. Health cover may well be easier to get in the EU if you hold a passport. If it interests you you can juggle your GB pounds and euros to g et the best deals.
Be careful of French inheritance laws...any French property will come under French law and there at some ways around that. Speak to a notaire.

Meanwhile at the EU Passport Holder counters the other 350 passengers shared about five Immigration Officers some of whom were not nice blonde Swedish girls.
I had to wait ages for my brother to get through immigration with his EU passport.

Whatever you are, you're a great example of why getting out of Europe is something we must do as quickly as possible!
