 * EEA treaty obligations prohibit discrimination between citizens of different members states; and this binds the Isle of Man. The Island could only place restrictions on EEA nationals if they applied to all EEA countries, including the UK. It would also of course necessitate leaving the Common Travel Area.

British Nationality Act 1982
This article shows a poor understanding of the British Nationality Act 1982 as applied to the Isle of Man. It is correct that their is no offical status as a 'Manx Citizen.' However, there is no official status as the article describes as "Manx people" and mistakes in this article have been repeated in the main Isle of Man article in respect to Isle of Man passports, visa, external realtions with the UK and EU, British Citizenship and the British Nationality Act 1982.

The role and influence of the Isle of Man and the Commonwealth of Nations is not understood. Furthermore, the effect of the Marine etc. Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967 in regard to the Isle of Man, the European Court of Human Rights, work permit legislation, asylum are also not understood and really the subject matter of an article in regard to internal relations of the Isle of Man. In comparison some major subjects may have been included have been missed-out in this External relations of the Isle of Man article. This includes the abolition of surtax, Custom and Excise agreement, formation of the Council of Ministers, Crime Act 1991, issue of dual income taxation and Isle of Man driving licences and the United Kingdom....etc

 * Not every phrase used in the article has a precise legal meaning. If you want a precise legal definition then 'Manx people' would need to be replaced by 'British citizens resident on the Isle of Man with no connection to the UK by past residence or via their parents or grandparents'.


 * The Isle of Man is not a member of a Commonwealth of Nations. It takes part in some institutions as a dependency of the United Kingdom.


 * The ECHR plays a part in Manx law because the United Kingdom is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights, extended to all the Crown dependencies. The Manx Human Rights Act has since patriated this law.


 * As for the other issues mentioned, they appear to have insular and external the wrong way around. Domestic governance and taxation and driving laws are insular issues, whereas asylum and work permits are laws relating to people coming from other places to the island.
