	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2019 answer text <p>We estimate that there are around 1 million UK nationals living in the EU. We do not at present hold data on the number of UK nationals who work in the Schengen area, nor the number of those who live in the Schengen area with less than five years’ residency.</p><p>The deal we’ve reached will provide EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU with certainty about their rights going forward. Indeed, the Government has been clear that in any scenario, including no deal, EU citizens and their family members living here by exit day will be able to stay. EU citizens resident in the UK by exit day are able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to secure their status. The scheme fully opened on 30 March and over 800,000 applicants have applied. Applications to the scheme are free.</p><p>In a no deal, following extensive engagement by the Government, we are pleased that all Member States have now made commitments to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and have guaranteed that UK nationals legally resident by exit day will be able to stay. We continue to encourage Member States to fully reciprocate our offer and communicate plans as soon as possible.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 16/07/2019 16:01:32 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>The Secretary of State meets regularly with EU counterparts to discuss issues related to our exit.</p><p>During the implementation period, UK nationals will be able to travel, work and live in the EU as they do now.</p><p>The Political Declaration makes clear that both sides will aim to provide visa-free travel for short-term visits, as well as other elements to support mobility in defined areas. We will be discussing the detail in the next phase of negotiations.</p><p>Our proposals for visa-free travel will apply in the event of a deal or no deal. Conditions for entry and stay of third country nationals in the EU for more than 90 days are a matter for each Member State to determine. In the event of a no deal, UK nationals staying in the EU for longer than 90 days will be subject to individual Member States' immigration rules. UK nationals will therefore need to check individual Member State immigration rules for information regarding entry and stay that would not fall under the Schengen arrangements.</p><p>The FCO provides travel advice to UK nationals travelling abroad on gov.uk. We have published advice on the steps that UK nationals may need to take to prepare for our exit from the EU, which can be found at <a href="http://gov.uk/euexit" target="_blank">gov.uk/euexit</a>. The Government will publish any necessary updates in due course.</p><p><strong><p><p></strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 08/02/2019 11:37:50 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
