Non-Eu Concerns - Temporary Loss of EU Residency

Sarah-The-Chubby-Seal

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

Arthur 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 I'm pretty sure Ireland will still be in the EU after the Brexit ;)

Roeshimi 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.

Roeshimi Ireland 🇮🇪 has nothing to do with the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and the Brexit.

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 🍀
