For a hefty fee, I will adopt anyone on here and let you get a Scottish ppt when they come up for grabs. Hefty though.
Will you be applying for an EU passport post-Brexit?

Should be eligible for an Italian passport but can't be arsed.

Banana for scale
I'm eligible but not planning to apply - my mum is Slovak, but as there's very little paper trail of her life there we've found (my brother tried) that it's a bit tricky. There is one document my mum could dig up that would probably work, but in the end he didn't want to ask her to have to find it. If we find some really good reason to, or maybe someone comes across that one document at my parents' house, maybe I'd go for it, but TBH I'm not likely to relocate or work abroad (it'd be more useful for my husband who could do the latter) so there's no massive reason for having one.
Anyone looking for an Irish passport...?
Up to Covid, even renewing an Irish passport took a few weeks.
During Covid the passport offices had very little to do. I renewed my passport online with them and had both forms (book and card) within 2 days. They even accepted an utterly shite photo of me taken on my phone.

Eligible for Italian citizenship and have had Italian passport in the past but they were real dickheads whenever I renewed my passport because I don't speak Italian, they were truly rude and off putting, so it expired over 10 years ago. I suppose I could get it renewed but I really dread going to the Italian consulate. They actually made me not want to be Italian! They make British officials look like sweet angels in comparison. But if push comes to shove I can get it sorted but would probably have to go to Italy to do it, both maternal grandparents are Italian and my mother also has Italian citizenship.

Not eligible for one. Ive got my Australian nationality certificate so can apply for one of their documents if me and the wife need an escape plan in the future.

This week the score draws are plentiful
Despite never having been there and none of my family ever having lived there, I'm eligible for a Portuguese passport by virtue of my dad's ancestors being expelled Spanish Jews, as I discovered on this forum a while ago.
I doubt I'll apply, though. I do travel to continental Europe a lot, but it's nearly always by Eurostar or Brittany Ferries, both of whom have such a high volume of UK travellers that I'm sure they'll find a way to smooth any post-Brexit border obstacles. If this time next year we're all still standing in half-hour queues getting third degree from border police who even now appear suspicious of my surname and features then I might look into it.

It’s not weird if it helps facilitate your actions, it’s a bit odd to go to the hassle and expense just to own a travel document for the sake of it, each to their own though.
Regarding visas and that, the U.K. passport is as strong and any EU one. There are always odd exceptions, a Serbian passport doesn’t need a visa for Russia, though when Serbia joins in a couple of years Russia may scrap that...

This. I got mine straight after the referendum. I'd been planning on getting the Irish one for years but never got around to it and the referendum result gave me the motivation to get on with it. The way I see it is that, aside from the fact that I am apparently now unable to avail myself of British consular assistance in Ireland, there's zero downside and potentially several upsides. It's also a cool thing to have. The first couple of times I used it were quite a buzz. I was half expecting it not to work.

I'm holding out for Scotland. Come on, Scotland. I'm looking forward to the time when I can leave my family in a Non EU Arrivals queue at Malaga airport and fuck off into the mountains on my own.
In the unlikely event of Scotland becoming independent, you can have my passport, as I'll be residing in England.

Will I only be able to do Saga holidays?
Would you meet the criteria..?
I wouldn't mind applying for an Irish passport, although it's probably no use to me really. Atleast one of my Grandparents was born in Ireland. Don't know if I would be able to find their birth certificates though, especially as I don't have anything to do with my biological family anymore but I could try contacting the General Register Office in Ireland I suppose.
They are pretty good online.

Applying for an Irish passport via a grandparent is a lot more hassle than through a parent because you have to first apply for citizenship via the foreign births register. If you apply through a parent they already consider you to be an Irish citizen so you just have to apply for the passport which is pretty straightforward.

I did, for many years. One of the reasons I stopped having anything to do with it. Bureaucracy and bad manners!

I live outside the EU anyway but I've normally used my Irish passport as it's just easier and I think it's cheaper to get. What I've stopped doing is renewing my British passport as well.
My parents voted for Brexit but are moving to Spain on their Irish passports.
