The regulated professions
Enim excusatio est et minime accipienda
Since January 1, 2021, the United Kingdom has been a third country to the European Union. EU law has ceased to apply in the UK.
A trade and cooperation agreement was signed with the United Kingdom on December 30, 2020. Since January 1, 2021, this agreement has determined the rules applicable to relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union in a number of areas, in particular with regard to trade between the two Parties. The withdrawal agreement, which entered into force on February 1, 2020, remains applicable for the areas it covers.
Although an agreement has been signed, Brexit has brought about significant changes to which we must adapt.
The Withdrawal Agreement provides specific provisions for the right of residence and for the maintenance of the working conditions of European citizens settled in the United Kingdom before December 31, 2020. You have until June 30, 2021 to apply online for a status of resident. The agreement of December 30, 2020 does not modify these provisions in any way.
If you want to move to the UK, you are not covered by the provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement and the steps to take are different.
You are concerned if you are a British student who graduated from a British university and works in France; if you exercise a profession in France subject to a nationality condition; if you are a lawyer or practice another regulated legal profession under a French professional title; if you are a British citizen exercising a medical or paramedical profession in France.
