UK vs EU Residence After Brexit

Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Oscar Yip, Founder & Managing Director

Summary

Neither side’s residence automatically grants the other’s long-term rights.

Short answer: post-Brexit, a UK residence permit no longer grants EU free-movement work/settlement rights; an EU member residence card does not automatically allow long-term UK stay. File each side separately.
