The government has published a policy paper on what might happen to EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, in the event of a “no deal” Brexit.
The government has confirmed that those EU citizens and their family members who are resident in the UK by 29 March 2019 will have their rights protected, i.e. they will be able to stay and will continue to be able to work, study and access benefits and services in the UK on the same basis as they do now.
To achieve this, the UK will continue to run the EU Settlement Scheme for those who are resident in the UK by 29 March 2019 in a “no deal’” scenario. However, there would be some necessary changes to the scheme:
The government is also calling upon the EU and the other EU Member States to take the same steps to reassure UK nationals in the EU, that they can stay in the country where they currently live and have their rights protected.
Finally, the UK is seeking citizens’ rights agreements with the EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) to protect the rights of citizens. In the event of “no deal” with the EU, the UK would still pursue agreements with the EFTA states to ensure that EFTA nationals and their dependants resident in the UK, and UK nationals and their dependants living or working in one of the EFTA states, by 29 March 2019 will have their rights protected.
