An Update On The Rights Of EU Citizens Post Brexit

As the Brexit deal begins, ever so slowly, to take shape, the UK Government has made welcome concessions on the position of EU migrants already in the UK or who are thinking of coming to the UK to live and work after Brexit.

The Government has recently confirmed that certain key provisions contained in the draft Withdrawal Agreement proposed by the EU concerning citizens' rights will have effect during and after the Implementation Period. It has now been agreed that the Implementation Period will last  from Brexit on 29 March 2019 until 31 December 2020.

This deal does not currently apply to nationals of Norway, Lichtenstein, Iceland and Switzerland.

Irish citizens are not affected and may continue to reside in the UK post-Brexit.
