    Does a UK passport allow you to live in other parts of the Commonwealth than just British Isles?

      Not inherently. Many of them do offer favorable visa terms (easier work requirements, longer stays, etc).

      A UK national can live in Gibraltar, but that’s because it’s UK territory.

      I don’t think so, sadly, but I’m not entirely sure. I’m leaning towards no. A EU passport is more flexible, and one can move to Spain and become a national somewhat quickly and then idk settle in Germany or Finland if you want to. Ofc if SHTF in Europe that’s a different story, but I guess you could in theory move to French Guyana, lol.

      It doesn’t allow residence in the “British Isles”. It would however allow residence in Ireland.
