UK nationals residing in Germany before the end of the implementation period will fall under the protection of the Withdrawal Agreement and will be able to continue to live their life broadly as they do now.
Equal treatment principles will continue to apply for UK nationals covered under the Withdrawal Agreement, meaning they will continue to be eligible to apply and be considered for work on an equal basis after the end of the implementation period, with nationals of their host member state as under current EU rules.
As part of future relationship, we want to agree reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU that will support businesses to provide services and move their talented people and allow people to travel visa-free for temporary business activity.
