IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? In a series of technical notes published last week, the UK government has set out the implications if the UK leaves the EU on Brexit Day (March 29, 2019) without reaching a withdrawal agreement, including to the rules governing travel and mobility.
What does the change mean? Employers and individuals should understand the default requirements and restrictions on mobility for UK and EU citizens in the event of a “no-deal” Brexit.
Key points:
Analysis & Comments: While the UK government continues to work toward a comprehensive withdrawal agreement with EU negotiators, it recognizes that with Brexit just six months away and a complex legal process to ratify any agreement, a no-deal outcome remains a possibility. UK employers and business travellers should factor in additional time and processing if immigration controls are placed on travel within Europe post-Brexit. British citizens should consider renewing their passports now if they hold older, longer-validity passports (issued more than nine years and six months before the intended date of travel) or if they will expire within six months of intended travel to a Schengen country. British citizens planning travel to the Schengen region post-Brexit should familiarize themselves with the strict counting rules that would apply to them if there is no deal in place.
