European Expats how will Brexit affect you?

Have relations in Spain wondering what will happen? Anyone else or in France, Italy, Portugal or elsewhere heard any scenarios? Uncertain times.

Absolutely nothing will happen for 2 years, so tell them to calm down.

Precisely. Remember, this works both ways and just to give one example, "The French consulate in London estimates between 300,000 and 400,000 French citizens live in the British capital", which would make London France's sixth biggest city.

Fucking hell, what tarts! Are they really BRITISH?
They bring money into the country - a country that needs all it can get hold of.
They'd be better using their time worrying about what to do should the Spanish economy implode; a much more likely occurrence.

Ilford thanks they know that but are worried they will have to sell up and come back to the UK because they won't be allowed access to free hospital medical treatment. They are in there 60s and been there for 30 years?

I heard some journo on TV say that there would be different treatment of those there pre-brexit and those moving there subsequently. Obviously, requires investigation but surely nothing to worry about for a couple of years.

Pretty sure allowances will be made for all existing "foreingners" be they to or from the UK.
I just can't see a scenario where all EUs in the UK will be thrown out after 2 years and reciprocally the same for ex-pats in the EU.
Could you imagine the agro that would cause.
Got to be a agreed solution to this issue where existing stay put with existing rights.

There may well be a face-saving (and expensive to administer) one-for-one or one-for-n quota system between the UK and various EU nations along the lines of "We'll take 1,000 taxable people of working age if you take 2,500 of our pensioners (and their pensions/savings spending potential)."

I read what 64 said below, although unclear these individuals would still likely have access to healthcare the same as the ones laready in the UK. May also depemd if the UK stays in the single market or not.
Bottom line, there are a lot of unanswered questions around, gonna take years to sift through it all.

Arsegrapes. If they have lived there for 30 years they should apply for citizenship

''If I retire to Spain or another EU country will my healthcare costs still be covered?
David, from East Sussex, is worried about what will happen to his retirement plans. This is one of those issues where it is not possible to say definitively what would happen. At the moment, the large British expat community in Spain gets free access to Spanish GPs and their hospital treatment is paid for by the NHS. After they become permanent residents Spain pays for their hospital treatment. Similar arrangements are in place with other EU countries.
If Britain remains in the single market, or the European Economic Area as it is known, it might be able to continue with this arrangement, according to a House of Commons library research note. If Britain has to negotiate trade deals with individual member states, it may opt to continue paying for expats' healthcare through the NHS or decide that they would have to cover their own costs if they continue to live abroad, if the country where they live declines to do so''

Yes thanks I think that's their best course of action, they had never bothered and will have to find out how to go about it.
Thanks all

1964 Boris has already said there will be an amnesty for those from the EU that can prove they have lived in the UK for more than 12 years.

Boris says lots of things. This amnesty is just one example. He might not be in charge of this sort of detail so it counts for not a great deal.

Boris heads BREXIT, there is no other Politician in the Conservative party who has come out of this with any conviction, Gove apart, (Farages UKIP have not been elected so he is unable to play a part) and has the personality to deliver other than Boris.
Love him or hate him Boris stood by what he believed in from the start and knew what the majority of people wanted. He is the right man to lead us right now to take us out of the EU, if only for the sake of steadying the markets and allowing our economy a smooth transition post BREXIT.

Riddle you really must read up on Boris. Or perhaps you have but are in denial. This is the man championing Turkish EU membership in the past.

He really hasn't been that forthcoming about his stance on Europe until fairly recently, correct me if I'm wrong by all means.

Boris was mayor of London when there was access to EU funding. It is hardly surprising he saw no need for the UK to leave at the time.
I'm sure he will enjoy being PM outside the EU. Oh yes.

That was a decade ago, politicians change their minds all the time, it's what they do. The difference now is the majority have made his job easy for him as he has a mandate to work with.

Boris and his outers do not have any mandate do they. Ask the 52% what this referendum was about and they will deny it is any sort of mandate othet than the UK government to negotiate leaving the EU.
I would like to see the next tory leader put himself and his party to the country before any action is taken over such a monumental political change.

That's what the ballot paper said you cunt, Leave or Remain.
Not Remain and do this or Leave and do that.
The Tories just won a general election, actually delivered on a promise they made and have been instructed by the MAJORITY of voters to now negotiate our exit and new terms.
Them's the breaks, gutted?
