Should you worry if the EU were to split apart? What would that mean to the value of your EU passport? Andrew believes that if the EU were to break away completely, the good passports that are already good will still remain so. The British passport isn’t going to become dirt just because they’re no longer attached to the EU and the same applies to France, The Netherlands, etc. Andrew believes that you should continue to strive for a good EU passport and to keep doing things the right way.
