This is particularly true for non-EU family members of UK citizens living in Ireland. Post-Brexit, arrangements under the Common Travel Area will continue to protect the rights of British citizens to live and work in Ireland.

Lawyers and NGOs have warned that UK citizens with family members from countries such as Pakistan or Bangladesh are facing particularly long delays.
