EU Referendum:
The result
of the referendum on the UK’s membership with the EU on 23 June 2016 and the
absence of plans on how to proceed forward following the vote to leave have
created enormous levels of uncertainty. Statements from the Home Secretary and
Minister for Immigration that future residence rights of EU nationals in the UK
will be a matter for exit negotiations with EU have not provided the
reassurance required.
Under EU
Law, EU national’s exercising their treaty rights in the UK continue unchanged
until such a time the UK actually leaves the EU following formal notification
of withdrawal from the EU under article 50 of the treaty of the European Union
and the conclusion of exit negotiations or the end of two-year negotiation
period.
With all
these uncertainties, there is a shared view by Immigration Law Practitioners
that EEA nationals and their families should take steps as early as possible to
protect their Immigration position by securing the best migration status they
are entitled too, these include applying for permanent residence if eligible or
obtaining a registration certificate to confirm their rights of residence
including retaining appropriate evidence of exercising treaty rights until
eligible for permanent residence. This should include recording schedules of
absences and maintaining accurate records of employment and connections to the
UK.
Those
eligible for Naturalisation as a British Citizen should also consider
disadvantages of loss of another citizenship especially those of EU
nationality, tax consequences and the loss of current EU free movement rights
for third country nationals.
We offer EU nationals consultations to address
all of these issues raised above so if you are concerned about what steps you
should take as an EU national or their direct family member. Give me a call and
I’ll put you on the right course in securing your right of stay here in the UK.
