<p>The frontier worker permit scheme implements our obligations under the Citizens’
Rights Agreements to protect the rights of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who were frontier
working in the UK (that is employed or self-employed in the UK but residing elsewhere)
before the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, for as long as they continue
to be a frontier worker.</p><p> </p><p>Since 1 July 2021 frontier workers have been
required to hold a valid frontier worker permit in order to evidence their right to
enter the UK to work. Irish citizen frontier workers are not required to obtain a
frontier worker permit to enter the UK to work, although they can apply for one if
they wish. Frontier workers are not required to use a frontier worker permit to evidence
their right to work or to access benefits and services while in the UK as they can
evidence their status by other means.</p>
