You are evidently a positive net contributor to the UK, why would you be forced out? I find it completely unimaginable that you would be forcibly removed.

- gpderetta 10y agoIt is one thing living as a EU citizen, another as an immigrant with considerably less rights, though. If GB leaves, me and my family might consider leaving the country as well. The alternative is applying for citizenship, of course. edit: living/leaving
- soneil 10y agoI have exactly the same problem. I'm British. I live in the EU. This is a vote to potentially take away my right to live & work here, and I don't even get to vote in it. (And I'm not eligible for citizenship; I move too much. I have to have 5 years behind me and intent to make this my home. I have neither.)
- YeGoblynQueenne 10y ago>> I find it completely unimaginable that you would be forcibly removed. The only reason I'm allowed to live and work in the UK is that I'm an EU citizen. If there's a Brexit (or a Grexit for that matter) I'll have to get a working Visa, or possibly apply for a residency. Neither is certain, and I'll be at the mercy of whoever examines my application. That's not a good place to be. And I'm worried that in a post-Brexit Britain, people will feel justified to act on xenophobic sentiment. There will also probably be many other things that change- for instance, as an EU citizen I was eligible for a tuition fee loan for my university degree (I'm still repaying it) and I paid less for my Masters than overseas students. So there may be financial consequences also.
