Originally posted by SandyD View PostI don't get it, if Brit is living in EU an for a few years, then they can apply for residency and passport of that EU country, then get EU rights and UK rights... what's the issue?
In short a EU passport is needed. Having residency for one country is not an answer. I work in several EU countries."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Originally posted by northernladyuk View PostCitizenship will give them EU rights, but residency will only apply to the country itself. Citizenship is the way to go.
Therefore citizenship shouldn't be necessary.I'm alright JackComment

I don't think 5 years is that long??
In the UK non EU immigrants have to wait 10 years (but varies according to circumstances and on which visa they entered the country).
If they are retired and already living in Germany they could probably get their citizenship before Brexist is even completed ... the way its going its going to take years.
If you need to work in several EU countries, they you can be resident of one, and just travel for work to another during the week days, or negotiate every other week travel to satisfy the residency rules... or take local roles until you get the residency / citizenship and whatever you needComment

The regulations for residency post Brexit will be more stringent, those relying solely on a UK pension as proof of income will fail to meet the criteria. I expect that some of the retirees in Spain will be told to leave."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
