IMPACT – HIGH
As the Brexit transition period nears its end, nationals of the United Kingdom living in the European Union are reminded to fulfill any requirements in their country of residence to show they are legally living there.
Key Points:
Background: The U.K. left the European Union in January, and the Brexit transition period ends Dec. 31.
Analysis & Comments: EU employers should ensure all U.K. national employees and family members (where applicable) are complying with legal requirements in individual EU countries ahead of the end of the Brexit transition period to ensure their residence status can be maintained.
EU employers are also reminded that U.K. national employees who are required to start work in any EU countries from Jan. 1, 2021, and are not already resident, may need to apply for a work/ residence permit given freedom of movement will have ended by then. Some EU countries are already allowing early applications for assignments starting from January and February of next year.
Employers are urged to work closely with Deloitte to discuss what steps must be taken by the end of the year, both for U.K. national employees already resident in any EU countries, and for U.K. national workers that are not planning on moving to their destination EU country until after Jan. 1, 2021.
