alittlebitfrench Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Here you go, read and weep.EU reveals no-deal plans...https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46617152If you have lived in France for 5 years you are allowed to stay and you will get a residency card if you meet certain conditions.If you have not lived here 5 years then it will be up to the individual country to decide if you are eligible to stay.. I did say moving before Brexit was decided could be bit of a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
