If your employee is a EEA or Swiss national, they have the right to live and work in the UK if:
- they are working here, having obtained permission from the Home Office if this is required
- they can support themselves and their family in the UK without becoming an unreasonable burden on public funds
When entering the UK, they must show their passport or national identity card. They should use the separate channel marked 'EEA/EU', where it is available. Immigration officers will check their passport or national identity card to ensure that it is valid and belongs to them.
Your employee and their family members can:
- accept offers of work;
- work (whether as an employee or in self-employment)
- set up a business
- manage a company
- set up a local branch of a company
Harbour HR will discuss options and review eligibility under this route as required
