Work in EU after No Deal

[kermitt]

Will I need a visa/work permit to work in France after Brexit?

I'm a UK citizen , living in UK, WFH through own Ltd with occasional business trips for client meetings in France.

Project will last up to Mid 2020, so does the transition period to Dec 20 offer any help.

Yes.

You won't have any right to work in France in the event of a no deal. In Germany for example, the government have advised that all rights to reside and work will be rescinded for all British nationals and they will have to re-apply for residency and work permits.

I very much suspect however no deal won't happen. If the deal goes through then you will get a reprieve until 2020.

Is the work done in the UK - you just happen to be dealing with a French company and occasionally go to meet them face to face?

Thanks,

Is that a yes to the visa/work permit?

Or a yes to being ok until after the transition period ends?

That is a yes until the transition ends. Rules for business visits need to be figured out. You may require a short term visa for that, but that depends on the rules in France that they currently have for non-EU countries.

Yes. Your freedom of movement has been removed.

Or a yes to being ok until after the transition period ends?

If the Withdrawal Agreement is signed, then you will be okay u TIL the transition period ends.

Typically alternate WFH Mon & Fri with 2-3 days spent in Paris, then the following week WFH.

I'm half way through a six month contract so renewal date is one month after the Brexit deadline.

The project will take up to mid 2020 so renewal is likely although not guaranteed.

In the event of a no deal you will need the following visa:
