From 1 January 2021, EU/EEA/Swiss citizens who wish to move to the UK to work and study will have to meet the requirements of the new points-based immigration system.
You can't use the EU route anymore.
Good idea.
They have options to live in another country. There is still Free Movement to all the other countries.
I was wondering if the EU would stop letting Irish citizens have the advantage of moving to the UK? The EU have equalities laws: citizens of one EEA country still being allowed that advantage, that the citizens of all the other EEA countries have now lost.
I explained that but they are set on the UK for now but maybe reality will set in and they make a new plan for life especially as they don't want to live in the country where their EU passport is from.
I understand the Common Travel Area (CTA) is excluded from the Withdrawal Agreement - so the EU must have accepted it's existence outside EU rules?
It appears that what the EU say and what they do, are two different things?alterhase58 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 1:48 pmI understand the Common Travel Area (CTA) is excluded from the Withdrawal Agreement - so the EU must have accepted it's existence outside EU rules?
Also the UK and Ireland have re-affirmed the continuation of the CTA.

There is pretty much a 0% chance that the freedom of movement between UK and Rep. of Ireland will be restricted or removed in our lifetimes. There is a fragile peace in Northern Ireland and the freedom of movement / equal civil rights between British and Irish citizens is a necessary aspect. The EU understands the fragility of the region very well - which is why even during brexit negotiations, the EU did not push a hard border between ROI (EU) and UK (non-EU).
Apart from Schengen visas and freedom of movement, immigration for third country nationals is a national matter for each EU member states. Italy has an elective residence visa, Malta more or less sells passports, several countries have golden visas for those buying expensive property, individual countries have youth mobility visas for specific third countries, Germany and Austria have a jobseeker visas, some countries offer retirement visas, some don't.
Sorry for that route will not work because Irish national will be treated as EU national if they are not born in Ireland or their parents are not Irish.ALKB wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 4:47 pmYou can't use the EU route anymore.
You can find a job that is willing and able to provide sponsorship (difficult as a driver at this point in time - does your fiancée have sought-after skills?), take up university studies (paying international student fees), or invest a whole lot of money into a business.
If you don't mind long term plans, you could move to the Republic of Ireland, stay five years, naturalise as Irish and then move to the UK as an Irish citizen, provided rules don't change until then.
Not sure where you got that idea from.
Not quite unconditionally; Irish citizens can be excluded or deported "when in exceptional circumstances in ‘the public interest’."secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 7:53 pmAll Irish citizens can move to and live in the UK unconditionally under UK law ...
