01:37 – Brexit: Period you can stay in the UK without losing their EU residency

The economic and social disruption caused by the global pandemic has been devastating.

A lot of British nationals resident in the EU opted to return to the UK to bide their time until things are sort of back to normal.

British nationals ‘waiting out’ Covid-19 health situation in the UK could lose their rights to live in their EU host country.

02:07 – Rights of Residence in the EU

British nationals living in the European Union who have returned to the UK until Covid-19 subsides
are being urged not to stay away from their host country for too long otherwise, they risk losing their rights of residence in the EU, warns citizens’ rights group British in Europe.

Since Britain left the EU on 1 January 2021, British nationals are covered by the Withdrawal Agreement.

How much time you’ve been resident in your host country determines how long you can spend in the UK.

03:02 – Your Type of Residence in the EU

If you have permanent residence under the Withdrawal Agreement, the permitted absence from your EU country is five years.

That means you’re in the clear if you possess permanent residency under the Withdrawal Agreement.

On the other hand, UK nationals with ordinary residence can be outside the host country for a total of six months in a 12-month period.

This period can be extended to 12 months instead of 6 months if you can prove that your absence is due to “important reasons such as pregnancy and childbirth, serious illness, study or vocational training, or a posting in another Member State or a third country”.

04:02 – Important reasons to extend absence in the EU

The Agreement provides for cases of serious illness, so if you caught Covid-19 in the UK, you can argue this is valid for extending the six-month absence to 12 months.

04:51 – Proof of how long you’ve been away from your EU residence

On returning to your host country, you may be asked questions about your residence at the border.

You will be required to explain that you haven’t been away from your host country for more than a six-month period, or that you have solid grounds for extending this to 12 months.

To know more details about your rights in a specific EU member state, visit the official European Commission’s website.
