    A residency permit for a country within Schengen act as a Schengen visa. That allows free travel. I have that regardless of retaining EU citizenship.

    If I retain EU citizenship and wish to go to work in another country, I'll need to apply for a residency/work permit in that country, but I'll be entitled to it for the asking once I've got a work contract.

    Indian nationals working in the EU have freedom to travel as tourists around Schengen. They have to apply for a residency/work permit if they wish to settle and work in a new EU country. That's because they don't have EU citizenship.

    Hope that's clear enough for you.
    Yeah I'll just hit up some nice Indian chaps and get one.

    Just asking.
    The only difference to me is that I can work in the EU. If I want to. My permit works as a Schengen visa. Maybe we can still use the EU passport queues?
    Work permits are afaik only valid per country not for the entire Schengen area.

    Would you be happy to take a 25% pay cut?

    For absolutely no reason?

    I doubt it's just those two that are propping up Spain's economy to the tune of €14Bn per year.
