    Hi,

    I'm eligible for a British passport, but I'm wondering if there are any advantages at all to having one?

    I thought the commonwealth countries might be easier to visit, but for Australia at least, the length of a holiday visa is the exact same for Irish and British passports.

    Are there any tangible benefits to having one?

    Cheers

    EDIT: To answer my own question, very little benefit:

    Well I have one, reasons being, far more British embassies or consulates around the world, should I ever need assistance, also I visit England regularly & I guess when they leave the eu, it may be easier or less time consuming when I'm travelling in & out.

    Other than that, probably no advantage at all.
