Brexit
Free Movement of People ended on the 1st January 2021, meaning you may have to apply for visas to continue working in the European Union.
The European Union, and other European states (such as Norway & Iceland), operate under the “Schengen Zone”, a collective agreement which monitors passport and visa free travel inside Europe.
Currently, British citizens currently benefit from a Schengen Zone waiver, allowing visa free travel in the EU for up to 90 days in a 180-day period. However, you may need a visa or permit for certain business activities or studying.
Which business activities require a visa varies from EU state to state, so do check the Schengen website (below) before travelling.
If you need a visa, the Schengen Zone details the requirements for Visa in each EU member state, and can be found here: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/schengen-visa-countries-list/. Global members can also utilise the Global Business Network to find in market support for your employment, or employee, needs.
