On 30 September 2020 the Home Office updated its good character policy for naturalisation to make it even harder for EU nationals to become British citizens.  The new policy doubles the period of time, from five years to ten years, during which certain EU citizens in the UK must have held comprehensive sickness insurance (CSI) or a European health insurance card (EHIC) issued by an EU country, in order to qualify for citizenship. The Home Office had recently updated a different nationality policy along similar lines. It has evidently decided to double down despite the controversy provoked by the previous change.  Continue here: https://www.freemovement.org.uk/it-just-got-even-more-difficult-for-eu-nationals-to-get-british-citizenship/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=it-just-got-even-more-difficult-for-eu-nationals-to-get-british-citizenship&utm_source=Free+Movement&utm_campaign=b38dc38b40-Daily+emails+everything&utm_medium=email&utm_t...

In one of the Dutch newspapers an article on British companies opening a Dutch branch in case there will be a hard Brexit. That way they will still have access to free trade within the EU markets. Are you wondering how to enable British employees and other non-EU personnel to work in The Netherlands during a searchyear (minimum wages), after a searchyear (3 years for a minimum of around 2500 euro a month), as a knowledgemigrant (two sets of wages requirements) feel free to contact me during the week.   The interesting article you can find in Dagblad van het Noorden 26th of September 2020.       

I can recommend this article from Free Movement: Free Movement:The practical implications of a no-deal Brexit for British citizens travelling to the EU https://www.freemovement.org.uk/the-practical-implications-of-a-no-deal-brexit-for-british-citizens-travelling-to-the-eu/ However I discovered two mistakes: According to the writer in case a visa will be required, business people would not be able to work in a Schengenstate while visiting. " If the EU were to impose visas, even if only for short stays, UK business visitors would be among the most affected. The limited period of stay (in many cases as short as five days), the restricted scope of permitted activities, and in particular the frequent need to apply for a visa will cause many British business travellers considerable trouble. A business short-stay visa does not permit one to remain in the Schengen area for more than three months, to establish a business, trade or profession, to make business deals, to recr...

Both articles I copied from the governmental website of the IND. Make sure however that you are registered at your local Gemeentehuis and at the IND because to give you leave to remain the Dutch government has to know you were here before the UK left the EU. Right of residence transition scheme for British citizens in the Netherlands January 8, 2019 ​The Dutch government has decided that, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, British citizens and their families who are lawfully resident in the Netherlands prior to 29 March will be entitled to live, work and study in the Netherlands for at least another 15 months. This transition scheme will also apply to family members of British citizens who do not hold EU citizenship themselves. During this 15-month period, the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) will...

Fear and mistrust are heightened by the rhetoric on overstayers and illegals, while a system that could gather the statistics of people in and people out that are essential to develop a humane and economically literate policy, as MPs pointed out earlier this week , is not coming any time soon. In the past few days alone, government policy has lurched from headline to headline: a poster campaign exhorting illegal migrants to "go home" that visits London boroughs with high ethnic minority populations and, despite lacking a system of evaluation, is reportedly to be rolled out nationally . A proposal is anno...

llegaal hier? Ga dan naar huis of loop kans te worden opgepakt. Deze slogan staat op bussen die door London rijden.  Vans have driven around the London boroughs of Hounslow, Barking and Dagenham, Ealing, Barnet, Brent and Redbridge carrying billboards as part of a week-long, £10,000 pilot that is meant to tackle illegal immigration. The billboards showed residents how many illegal migrants had recently been arrested in their local area and carried a text number for overstayers to use to arrange their return home. The posters read: "In the UK illegally? Go home or face arrest. Text HOME to 78070 for free advice, and help with travel documents. We can help you to return home voluntarily without fear of arrest or detention." If deemed successful, the vans could be rolled out across the country, the Home Office said.

Immigration is one of the most important stories of modern British life, yet it has been happening since Caesar first landed in 53 BC. Ever since the first Roman, Saxon, Jute and Dane leaped off a boat we have been a mongrel nation. Our roots are a tangled web. From Huguenot weavers fleeing French Catholic persecution in the 18th century to South African dentists to Indian shopkeepers; from Jews in York in the 12th century (who had to wear a yellow star to distinguish them and who were shamefully expelled by Edward I in 1272) to the Jamaican who came on board the Windrush in 1947. The first Indian MP was elected in 1892, Walter Tull, the first black football player played (for Spurs and Northampton) before WW1 (and died heroically fighting for the allies in the last months of the war); in 1768 there were 20,000 black people in London (out of a population of 600,000 - a similar percentage to today). The 19th century brought huge numbers of Italians, Irish,...

Worried about immigration? Then go and live in Romania Bucharest hits back at migrant fears with cheeky ad campaign promoting tourism   “Half of our women look like Kate. The other half, like her sister,” the poster reads. Another points out: “Charles bought a house here in 2005. And Harry hasn’t been photographed naked once.” Romania has hit back at British fears of a sudden influx of immigrants, launching its own tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign to persuade disillusioned Britons to travel east and swap Bognor for Bucharest. “You have bad weather, no jobs, no houses? That sounds bad. Why don’t you come live here instead?” reads one poster on the Romanian news website Gandul, which is behind the humorous campaign, entitled “Why don’t you come over? - We may not like Britain, but you’ll love Romania.” Restrictions on British visas for citizens of Bulgaria and Romania are due to be lifted at the end of the year, and ministers are believed to be consideri...

Commonwealth soldiers who have risked their lives for Britain are facing deportation and destitution under new rules which deny them British citizenship. Bale Baleiwai and his British wife Kim are living on their savings while they fight deportation   Photo: Geoff Pugh By Andrew Gilligan 9:00PM BST 21 Jul 2012 483 Comments Commonwealth recruits to the British forces can claim citizenship after four years’ service. But a Sunday Telegraph investigation has found that a growing number are being refused it. Unable to work or claim benefits, they and their families rely on charity handouts to survive. Veterans’ groups say they are seeing dozens of new cases every month as the rule changes bite. “This is turning into a major problem for us, and for the people involved it can be a ...

Isimeli Baleiwai served in Afghanistan and Iraq, before leaving the Army in June. He is married to a UK national. But disciplinary action for a 2010 fight with a colleague means he is considered to have a criminal record. The Border Agency said applications for settlement by ex-forces personnel were considered the same way as all others. "This involves consideration of a range of factors including unspent convictions, whether passed by military courts or resulting from police involvement," a spokesperson said in a statement. Lance Corporal Baleiwai - known as "Bale" - was born in Fiji but told th...

Research study says UK citizens of Pakistani and Bangladeshi heritage rate "being British" as key to their identity. Researchers say 'Britishness' has been successfully promoted as a multi-cultural identity [GALLO/GETTY] Glasgow, United Kingdom - Muslims living in the UK feel more British than their white counterparts. It's a surprising statement that demands an explanation. In a study released in late June, the Institute for Social and Economic Research asked 40,000 households a series of questions, including how important, on a scale of one to ten, being British was to them. People of Pakistani origin scored the highest with an average of 7.76, Bangladeshi and Indian groups came second and third, while the white population scored lowest - with an average of 6.58. The report's authors believe the results disprove suggestions that ethnic groups are unable to integrate into British society. "Our research shows that people we might assume wou...
