The lore book doesn't really have an answer to this one. We do know from the AST quest line that the conservative Bibliothecs have considerable influence in the Forum, though. Since they strongly believe that Sharlayans should "observe and record history without raising so much as a finger to intervene" (EE 170) and their leader believes that "knowledge with the potential to change history's course should never leave Sharlayan's control" (EE 170), and that they have sufficient political clout to send authorized assassins after people who break those rules (AST quest line), it seems plausible that getting citizenship in Sharlayan would be difficult if not impossible these days. Certainly, as you mention, you wouldn't be able to return to Eorzea with the knowledge you'd gleaned.
