Ministers and officials from DExEU and other Government departments speak regularly to Ministers and senior officials from other Member States about the issues related to our exit from the EU, including on the rights of UK nationals in the EU.

We are urging our EU counterparts to offer the same reassurance to UK nationals living in EU Member States as the Prime Minister recently gave to EU citizens in the UK. We will also ensure all relevant information is available to UK nationals overseas in the most transparent and accessible way.

For information on living in a specific Member State citizens should refer to the “Living in Guides” on gov.uk.
