Permit for UK: Factsheet

A frontier worker permit relates to an EU/EEA or Swiss citizen who is employed or self-employed in the UK but resident elsewhere.
European nationals who previously began working in the UK on this basis before the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020 can still enter the UK for work.

In this guide, we explain the eligibility requirements for a permit and outline the application process.
