Brits told to Keep Calm and Carry On

fcoThe message of the 1939 motivational poster again has relevance for British expats in the wake of Brexit.

The UK Foreign Office has launched a new webpage specifically for expats living in or visiting EU countries after a majority of British people opted to part company with the European Union.

Negotiations “may take up to 2 years or more” and “in the interim there will be no immediate changes.”

"During the period of the negotiations, the UK remains a full member, entitled to all the benefits and obligations of membership of the EU."

HMG has sought to calm expat fears.

"The government has made clear that we want the legal rights of British nationals living in European countries, as well as EU nationals in the UK, to be properly protected.”

Brief sections on travel, passports, healthcare, property and pensions are on the site. Additionally, there is information on dual citizenship.
