Actually it's not been made very clear in what sense these 3 countries are not participating.Britain, Ireland and denmark are not participating
With the important proviso that taking advantage of this may well mean you lose eligibility for citizenship in the country of first residence.tt wrote: Once you have one of these permits, it can be used in other EU countries (except the UK, Ireland and Denmark) to reside and/or work without further need of permits ...
This is my question. It might work that way that those with UK PR, they should be able to go to other EU countries, since it works that way for citizenship but if I was one of the other eu countries I wouldn't honor it.Dawie wrote:Actually it's not been made very clear in what sense these 3 countries are not participating.Britain, Ireland and denmark are not participating
For example, it's more than likely that third country nationals with permanent residence from other EU countries would not be allowed to live and work in the UK. But it's not immediately obvious whether or not third country nationals with permanent residence (indefinite leave to remain) in the UK would be allowed to work in the other EU countries who have signed up to this agreement.
All of them in effect (apart from the three that opted out).doclagoa wrote:Does anyone know if there is a website that updates which member countries have implemented the directive 2003/109/EC?
Thanks MYM, But I read somewhere that even though it been adopted that most countries have NOT implemented it. I think I read that Austria and a couple of others implemented but no others. I was just wondering if there is a website to go to that says what the compliance has been.mym wrote:All of them in effect (apart from the three that opted out).doclagoa wrote:Does anyone know if there is a website that updates which member countries have implemented the directive 2003/109/EC?
It entered into force: 12.02.2004 and the deadline for transposition in the Member States was 23.01.2006.
Since that date in any states that have not transposed it into their national law it has the force of law anyway.
Does anyone have any experience of being a long-term resident, then going to another EU Country for purposes of study in University and being denied "home rates" for tuition? I am wondering how I can get home rates IF the country has not implemented the directive. Universities don´t seem to know about this law.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:If a country does not transpose it to national law by the deadline, then the Directive itself has direct legal effect in the country.
This is true with all EC directives. Until recently Directive 2004/38/EC had not been transposed in Belgium, and so the Directive had direct legal effect.
Yeah, but even though you can move and act as a normal resident, they still may require a certain amount of time of living in the state to avail yourself of residential fees. You need to look into each country's rules or the school's rule of that country on how they would process your application.doclagoa wrote:I am a U.S. citizen. Have been living in Portugal for 7.5 years. Have just applied for an official new stauts of Long Term Resident card. I hope to study in Holland or the UK. And, don´t want to get stuck with the international status for tuition fees. Thanks in advance for your help !
I know that Sweden is fully implementing it at the moment. As Sweden is fairly advanced in its immigration services, one can get the necessary application form from the Migrationsverket (Swedish Migration Board) website and from there can receive instructions on how to apply with the local police. You can view it at:doclagoa wrote:Does anyone know if there is a website that updates which member countries have implemented the directive 2003/109/EC?
