I'm not sure, many of the UK citizens working abroad are probably workers with specific skills who would get visas regardless of the EU. I doubt other countries would force these people out to spite us because we no longer accept eastern europeans who work at costa coffee.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoDon't you think the visas would go to people from countries with less stupid immigration rules? The UK is hardly the only source of educated labour. Also, there are a hell of a lot of people from the UK who work round the world doing jobs like dishwashing and wouldn't be able to afford to travel if they didn't.
- jiggy2011 12y agoThe Visas go to whoever has the skills required by the particular economy, the country of origin is less important. Visas for gap-year type travellers are less common and usually very time limited.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoVisa policy for most countries varies wildly according to country of origin. Most countries operate a tiered approach to visa allocation and often heavily restrict applicants from certain countries if they have disagreements with them. Is funny that while people from abroad are painted as devious manipulative devils when they are trying to enter the country, they suddenly get portrayed as shining beacons of angelic forgiveness when it comes to the subject of what would happen to all of the British working abroad if we shut our borders.
