Work in EU after No Deal

[Old Greg]

Ireland is probably the only country that will be unaffected in terms of rights of British citizens. .

[BlasterBates]

Thanks for all the replies folks, much appreciated!

I may have the opportunity for a staff role elsewhere in the UK so I'm going to investigate that further.

It is unlikely there will be a no deal, and if there is, a business visa will just entail some additional hassle at the French embassy.

Mind you there might be huge queues there

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

It sounds like you'll fall under the 90-days-in-180 limit for a normal business visa, but you should get professional advice.

In case of a no deal you will have the same rights as someone from Nigeria or Afghanistan to work in the EU. i.e. none

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 In Germany for example, the government have advised that all rights to reside and work will be rescinded for all British nationals and they will have to re-apply for residency and work permits.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.

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.
