Brits in the EU: are you applying for citizenship?

After Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, British citizens living and working across the EU have been weighing up their futures.

Legal entitlements such as the right to work, reside, retire, vote in local elections and have access to welfare and health systems come automatically from Britain’s membership of the EU, but it is uncertain which rights will still apply once Britain’s Brexit deal with the EU is completed.

If you’re an British citizen who has applied for citizenship of an EU country, we want to hear your story. Tell us your circumstances: how long you’ve lived abroad, how the EU referendum result has affected you and your family, and how you came to the decision to apply for citizenship.

We’ll feature a selection of your stories in our reporting.
