Are Members of EU Militaries Invited to Apply for the British Armed Forces?

All candidates for entry into the Armed Forces must:
- Be British from birth;
- Hold dual British/other nationality; or
- Be a:
  - British National (approximately 66 million).
  - Citizen of the Irish Republic (approximately 4.7 million people), or
  - A Commonwealth citizen (composed of 53 members states of approximately 2.4 billion people).
  - The EU is composed of 28 members states of approximately 512 million people (this includes the UK).
For some specialisations, such as the Submarine service, candidates must hold British nationality only.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has not sent any invitations to members of EU militaries to join the UK armed forces and they have no plan to recruit non-UK EU nationals into the armed forces.
This policy was reviewed and unanimously agreed by the Services in 2015.
Although no non-UK EU military personnel have been invited to join the UK armed forces, they could technically join subject to the above criteria.
