As far as I'm aware, if you were born in the UK and can prove it (e.g. with
a birth certificate) you can get a UK passport simply by applying for it at
your nearest consulate. I don't think it is a big deal, and you get to keep
you US passport too.

Let's say a person has some money to cruise independently,.. but not
quite enough. You mostly network in the local cruising community where
ever you find yourself and work for them under the table? Can you work
legally as a us citizen in some countries? Thanks.

Check out your ancestry. It could be that even as far back as your
grandparents could give you almost automatic citizenship in the country
of their birth. Then armed with a passport from, say, Ireland or Italy or
Austria or Holland, etc., you become a citizen of the European Union and
can reside and work anywhere in the EU. I'm sure it's not that simple,
but not that difficult either. My US-born daughter with her US-citizen
children has been working in Europe for years based on her Irish passport
derived from my birth certificate.

Hmm, I was born in the uk but have a us passport. It looked like a
long (3 -5 years) journey to get a uk passport from what I could see
but maybe the work permit is a gift. I do mostly 12v wiring, pc
hardware, boat repair. I have an electronics (non-military) and sound
reenforcement background.
Don't you have to speak a second language to teach english?
Ok, back to the varnish room. Thank you.
