Bulgaria Romania

(A2 Countries)

Bulgaria and Romania are the two newest countries to join the EU. There are special rules about how people from A2 countries can work in the UK, and about their entitlement to benefits and housing.

The authorisation schemes and other rules about Bulgarians and Romanians only came into force on 1 January 2007 and so many people are not familiar with them.

EEA rights are complicated and often misunderstood, especially the rights of former workers. All EEA nationals who have had the right to live in the UK for five years get the right to permanent residence automatically.

The Rights under EEA law, are a fast changing area of law. Talk Visa Limited can ensure that you receive up to date and professional advice on how the law applies to your situation.
