Remember Brexit? Your questions and concerns...

We’re keen to hear your questions, concerns and thoughts about the Brexit transition.

As you will all know, at the end of this year the Brexit transition period will come to an end and the introduction of new trading and immigration measures within the UK will be put into place.

While the impacts of COVID-19 will undoubtedly remain a focus, organisations need to make sure they’re prepared for the changes Brexit will bring on 1st January 2021.

This is particularly true for the impact of the new Points Based Immigration System, and the new requirements UK organisations will need to adjust to when recruiting from abroad.

To help support you through this change, we’re keen to hear your questions, concerns and thoughts about the Brexit transition.

Please comment below and we’ll work to answer your questions, and use them and your feedback to directly inform our content, resources and guidance. 

You can see our existing resources on our Brexit Hub here.

ps Also feel free to suggest other ways we may support you with the impact of Brexit over the coming weeks and months.

  • Hi all,

    Our company has been notified that we're onboarding a Dutch national to our UK-based entity joining us in Jan21. As she is UK resident already does this mean we don't need to have a sponsor licence and all is required is the right to work check?

    Thanks for any feedback,
    Fiona
  • Hi Fiona, If your Dutch National has or can apply for pre-settled or settled status when she joins you then you don't need to sponsor her. If she is already in the UK she and you should be fine, but worth reminding her that Banks, mortgage lenders, landlords, car hire etc may all start asking for evidence of this from January so she is best to apply now (if she hasn't already got it).
    Pray we don't end up with no deal.....
