Once again - NO!!!!!

Become a British citizen and then you will have that right. If you have ILR you can apply for registration as a British citizen after 12 months.

Alternatively, if your spouse or civil partner is a British citizen, you can apply for naturalisation now if you have 3 years residence.

No because the rules of the country you do the work in, requires you to have a separate work permit.
If you do the work in the UK for a country abroad, then there is no problem.
Why don't you explain the opportunity instead of throwing out random thoughts, we might be able to provide a method to work around it

No. My guru friend is saying if u work for a foriegn co in the UK, u just need a UK Work Permt/HSMP if u don't have ILR/BC.

If ur a not a BC/EEA cit. u will need a WP/Business visa to work in mainland Europe.

I am looking for a job in the UK right now. I would like to know my status (BNO passport holder with ILR) eligibility for working in Europe or not. Sorry I did not state clear before.

No it does not. Only people with EEA nationality allows you free right of movement. You need a visa/work permit to work outside of the UK, in the EEA. ILR only allows you to live/work indefinitely in the UK, not the whole of the EEA. Your BN(O) status is irrelevant.

Also, you will need a visa/work permit even if you're working for a UK company in another branch. In essence - another country, another visa/work permit. No exceptions until you're an EEA national.

And not only that, he risks losing his ILR if he moves elsewhere in Europe.

It seems foolish in the extreme to be even thinking about leaving the UK until he can register as a British citizen.
