I'm don't quite follow what you are saying here - Iceland wasn't (isn't) in the EU? So I imagine Brexit or not would have made zero difference to your situation.
- EduardoBautista 5y agoIceland is part of the EEA which still allows freedom of movement with EU members.
- meheleventyone 5y agoAs noted Iceland is part of the EEA and so follows almost all of the same rules as countries in the EU including freedom of movement. When Brexit happened it was pretty up in the air what that meant for my permanent residency but the UK and Iceland signed an agreement before the UK left. Right now my wife and children can freely travel in the EU and I can’t or won’t be able to shortly. So getting citizenship here in Iceland will restore my rights in the EU.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoI see yes it makes sense for Iceland with such a low population to still be part of the EEA. Hope it works out for you.
- meheleventyone 5y agoI live in hope that at some stage the UK rejoins as well.
