Hello,

I am an Non-EU citizen who currently lives in the Netherlands. I will be moving to Ireland soon and would like to keep my bunq account - however, I have heard problems with Non-EU citizens having their accounts frozen when they lose residence in an EU country. My Dutch residence permit expires in one month, and it will take a few months for me to establish permanent residency in Ireland. I would like my bunq account to work during this interim period. Should I be concerned about a “freeze”?

Thank you kindly,

Sarah

      @Mike1975#112809 Dankeschön :)

        @Sarah-Yellow-Zebra#112811 Bitte sehr ;-)

          @Sarah-Yellow-Zebra#112807 Ireland is an EU country.

            @Tuur#112885 Until Brexit....

              @Tuur#112885 She said it'll take her a few months to establish her residency in Ireland, but her Durch residence will expire before that. So in-between she would apparently not be an EU resident.

                @Roeshimi#112888 I'm pretty sure Ireland will still be in the EU after the Brexit ;)

                  @Roeshimi#112888 Brexit is only concerning the United Kingdom of Great Brittain and Northern Ireland.

                  I am pretty sure a lot of Irish people will be up set when you consider Ireland a part of the United Kingdom.

                    nope. Don't worry about that.
                    U still keep bunq current account in eu zone area ( Ireland) and nothing to change about that and your account still active not freeze. U have only change your address before you moving.
                    Hopefully you understand.
                    Wish you luck with good luck 🍀

                      @Hemmik#112890 You're the only commenter that actually understood I was joking :)

                        @Roeshimi#112888 You're talking about Northern ireland... She said Ireland (the republic), they're not going anywhere
