Brexit - after 31st October 2019

Key points:

• EU candidates can still come to work in the UK.
• EU candidate will have to apply for the new Euro Temporary Leave to remain visa which lasts for 36 months and then re-apply after that time period under the new points scheme (which is yet to still be agreed). They can apply for this when they are in the UK. It is free to apply. I am sure details for this will be published once ‘if / when’ Brexit happens.
• UK transition period will be until 31st December 2020, after this date they propose the new points scheme to be in place.
• EU citizens will still use either Passports or ID cards to enter the UK.

Summary

• After Brexit, EU citizens who move to the UK will be able to apply for a 36 month temporary immigration status - European Temporary Leave to Remain (Euro TLR).
• Applications to the new Euro TLR scheme will be simple and free and will be made after arrival in the UK. There will be no need for EU citizens travelling to the UK after Brexit to make any special arrangements in advance.
• There will be some visible changes at the UK border, and tougher rules for criminals but otherwise EU citizens will be able to cross the UK border as now.
• EU citizens who move to the UK after Brexit and who do not apply for Euro TLR will need to leave the UK by 31 December 2020 unless they have applied for and obtained a UK immigration status under the UK’s new points-based immigration system.
