What is the Brexit news? The Swedish government has announced plans for how it would administer the status of U.K. nationals in Sweden in the event of a “no deal” Brexit.
Key points:
Background: The U.K. is set to leave the European Union on March 29, and although the U.K. and the EU have negotiated a draft withdrawal agreement, the U.K. Parliament has not approved it. EU member states are releasing plans on how they will address the end of EU free movement as applied to U.K. citizens in the event of a “no deal” Brexit.
Analysis & Comments: The government’s proposals provide some certainty to employers and U.K. citizens in Sweden. While U.K. citizens and their family members would need to apply for residence permits during the transition period, it is not yet clear what type of residence permits will be issued. It is possible that a special residence permit for U.K. citizens will be established. U.K. citizens who will arrive in Sweden after March 29 are encouraged to consider applying for residence permits now, given that it will likely take weeks for residence permits to be issued.
