EUSS / EEA – The SmartMove2UK

As a member of the European Union (EU), the UK permits nationals of other EU member states to enter the UK in exercise of their right of free movement within the EU zone. The EU nationals and their family members have the right to live and work in the UK if the EU national is a ‘qualified’ person in the exercise of their treaty rights under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 (EEA Regulations).

There has been no change to the rights and status of EU nationals in the UK, and UK nationals in the EU, as a result of the referendum.
