Brexit on October 31, 2019: What is the impact on immigration in case of no deal?


The U.K. is not the only country affected if it exits the EU with no deal. EU nationals are entitled to Freedom of Movement and do not require a permit to live and work in other EU countries.

By law they will require a visa or permit to enter the Schengen Area and work in an EU country. Several governments have published plans that will take effect in case of hard Brexit. We look at what some EU countries are doing to minimize the impact of a no-deal outcome on U.K. citizens planning to work and reside in the countries.
