I AM A UK CITIZEN IN BELGIUM. CAN I TRAVEL, WORK AND RETIRE IN OTHER EU COUNTRIES?

MONDAY 27 MARCH 2023, 12:00 - 13:30

In this webinar we will explore the rules and frameworks for UK citizens based in Belgium who want to move around the EU. UK citizens residing in Belgium are now subject to the same rules as other non-EU citizens when it comes to traveling, working, studying or retiring in another EU country. This is the case for both post-Brexit arrivals living in Belgium with a Single Permit and pre-Brexit residents who have their rights in Belgium protected by their M-Card. Join us for the lowdown on intra-EU mobility for the British of Brussels!

Issued Addressed
  • Time limits on travel outside Belgium and recommended documents for travelling
  • Practical differences between Schengen and non-Schengen countries
  • Things to consider if an employer sends a UK citizen on assignment to another EU country
  • Conditions and requirements for obtaining residence as an employee or student in another EU country
  • Possibilities and conditions for retiring in another EU country
  • Clarifications on the upcoming Entry-Exit System and ETIAS (Electronic Travel and Information Authorisation System)
These aspects will be tackled in a webinar aiming to provide theoretical information but also concrete case studies to allow participants to gain a more practical perspective. After a brief presentation, we will open a Q+A and address questions from participants. Note that this webinar will offer an overview on various topics relevant to UK citizens living in Belgium before Brexit, some of which will be explored in more detail through later webinars or our newsletter for UK citizens.
