Brits won't be kicking out any Polish plumbers, either. They're people who do work and make business and it will be generally recognized a useful practise to allow them to stay.
Currently, EU citizens don't need a work or residence permit, but if you actually get a job and stay longer than that, you will still need to register your right of residence. It's not really that different. And believe me, existing rights of residence will not be forfeited in case of Brexit.
Shall we make a bet? I'll offer a pint if I'm wrong.
- flubert 10y ago>I'll offer a pint if I'm wrong. Don't you mean 569 mL? Oh, wait, that is more subtle than at first glance...
- ptaipale 10y agoI was thinking that because we talk about EU on an American forum, it'll have to be 551 ml. Well, never mind, the health nazis will have got us by the time Brexit is clear, and the beer will be non-alcoholic.
- Symbiote 10y agoThe difference between a work/residence permit, and merely registering ones address, is very significant. EU citizens have the right to work in other EU countries by treaty. It can only be withdrawn in exceptional cases. They can also travel to other countries to look for work, and stay for as long as they can support themselves (I think) and are looking for work. Non-EU citizens do not have the right to work in EU countries, it is only granted in (less) exceptional cases. A work/residence permit application typically requires a job offer. It can expire or be withdrawn, is often linked to a particular employer, and usually has limitations compared to EU citizens -- for example, not getting unemployment benefits, or state healthcare.
