The sentence is almost a Brexit phrase in British politics: EU citizens who live and work in country are naturally welcome and may also remain after Brexit. What sounds to Europeans as a matter of course, however, has it in itself. Because not all EU citizens who live in UK work or have ever worked in country. If British government ofeu its draft for new status of citizens, many of m could lose ir status from one day to next because y do not meet criteria.

No one knows exactly how many EU citizens are affected. Dochviele See Brexit negotiations with great concern, because y have raised children rar than working, cared for relatives or simply could not pursue a profession for health reasons. Something that did not interest anyone before Brexit referendum. These EU citizens were equal to British, no one bored that y did not work. No one wanted you to see a residence permit. An EU passport was enough.
Since referendum of 2016, refore, more and more EU citizens living in kingdom are trying to get a permanent residence card, a permanent residence certificate, in order to have something on Brexit that proves that y are not new to country. This document is by no means new, only needed as an EU citizen so far rarely. have requested few. Until referendum.
It’s not just about criminal Europeans
Since n, application numbers have exploded. And since n, many EU citizens have been noticing that y cannot even get this document, which so many now want to be able to apply for British nationality, because, even after decades of residence, y do not meet criteria.

This will somehow settle during exit negotiations, some of m were still optimistic. But when British government last week put its new draft for residence status of Ofeu citizens, horror was great. After that, only those who have been able to prove that y have worked or studied or orwise, irrespective of state, for example through pensions or rental income, should receive a permanent residence status. However, se are already preconditions for obtaining certificate.
Has so far always been done in parliamentary debates as if it were all about criminal Europeans who do not want to be in country after Brexit, has been clear since last week: definition of who is to be settled in United Kingdom in future is narrow.
