What's the big deal? Part 1: what does the draft Withdrawal Agreement mean for us?

-

As I write this, opinion polls are strongly suggesting that there will be a Conservative majority in the upcoming election. If that happens, Boris Johnson will bring his Withdrawal Agreement back to Parliament before Christmas. Because he'd have a majority it's pretty sure to be ratified, which means that in this situation the UK will almost certainly leave the EU on (or even before) 31 January 2020.

That's bad news and less bad news for us. The bad: the UK would leave the EU, there would be no second referendum, and we would lose our EU citizenship on Brexit day. The less bad news: the Withdrawal Agreement does a much better job of protecting our rights than France's no deal ordonnance and decree.

At France Rights and British in Europe we've been working flat out on no deal issues for well over a year now, and almost all the info and news we've put out during that time has been about the no deal scenario. So it's very likely that you - like us! - have lost…

So who is Surinder Singh anyway? Returning to the UK with your non-British family member

-

If you've been following British in Europe's advocacy campaigns over the last two and a half years, you'll almost certainly have come across the term 'Surinder Singh rights' - perhaps you've wondered what they are. As the UK government published some amendments to its immigration rules on Monday afternoon (here's the link for the truly masochistic amongst you), which included amendments to these rights after Brexit, it seems like a good time to have a look at what this is all about, as many British people living in France and in other EU countries will be affected by it.

Who should read this article? The information in this article relates to you if you are a British citizen and you live in France or another EU state with a spouse, partner or close family member who is not British (either EU or non-EU). You will be affected by these changes if at any point in the future you want or need to move back to the UK with your family member(s).

Applying for a carte de séjour under the Withdrawal Agreement - what we know so far (and what we don't)

-

Ever since we began providing information over 3 years ago, the most frequently asked question has been 'how do I apply for a carte de séjour', and our website pages on that subject have been consulted hundreds of thousands of times.





We're in a period of transition in more ways than one right now: the old system for applying for a carte de séjour is no more, but the new one isn't yet up and running. Every British citizen living in France will have to apply for a new residence status and a new carte de séjour under the Withdrawal Agreement, and there will be a new online application platform, though full details of the process haven't yet been made public by the French government. But everybody hates a vacuum, so in this article we bring you up to date with what we know so far about how things will work under the new system so that you can begin to prepare for what's to come. The information here is taken both from the text of the Withdrawal Agreement itself, an…
