Free movement of Europeans

Article 45 of the TFEU establishes the free movement of European nationals as a fundamental right.

 

As a European, you therefore have rights to assert, in particular the freedom:

• To look for a job in another EU country;

• To work without the need for a work permit;

• To live there for this purpose;

• To stay there even after having held this job;

• To benefit from the same treatment as the citizens of this country with regard to access to employment, working conditions and any other social or fiscal advantage.

 

​

1. WHO IS CONCERNED?

• Job seekers, i.e. EU citizens moving to another European country in order to find a job there (under certain conditions)

• EU citizens working in another EU country

• EU citizens returning to live in their home country after working abroad

• The family members of these people

 

2. WITHIN WHAT LIMITS?

• The rights explained here apply to people who exercise their right to free movement for professional purposes.

• Limits exist for reasons of public security, public order, public health and with regard to employment in the public sector.

• Croatian nationals may be subject to temporary restrictions.

 

​

In all these respects, we can help you assert your rights!
