Does dual citizenship....

Post Sun Apr 18, 2010 3:05 pm

allow me to live and work in the UK?

I have dual citizenship and am wondering if I need to go through the work permit registration if I wish to live and work in London.

Is there a time limit?

You have all the rights of anyone else with UK citizenship . you can move and work there (or anywhere else in EU) tomorrow or 50 years form now.

Sorry. I forgot to add that I have Spanish citizenship (EU member). Does that change things? So I have dual (Canadian (born) and Spanish-through parents). Are there restrictions? (eg. can only stay 6 months?)

That's kind of a big detail.

But, EU is EU. There a re no restrictions.

So in essence...my fiance is also an EU national and has a job lined up in London. I could easily move with her and look for work sans any problem or time limit.

Doesn't matter. Article 21 of EU charter.

agnelson is right - EU citizens have all the same rights except voting in national elections - come and go and work or not as much as you like
