Since the EU referendum, our Immigration Team has been advising
EU nationals and their families impacted by the UK's
decision to leave the EU. The result has thrown up a whole host of
issues for EU nationals in the UK, not least how it affects their
rights as a family unit.
Our earlier post,
British passports for EU children, looked at the position for
EU children in the UK and how their parents can obtain a British
passport on their behalf. In this blog post, our Director of
Immigration, Jacqueline Moore, looks at another issue often raised:
what does the future hold for the parents of adult EU
nationals?
For the last 45 years, EU nationals have come to the UK under
their free movement rights. Those rights have given all EU
nationals the right to enter the UK and remain beyond an initial
automatic three month period, be that for work (either employed or
self-employed), as a student, or as a self-sufficient person who
holds comprehensive sickness insurance.
