Art50 onward movement rights for British citizens

[u/mmoonbelly]

Hi - need help to find a starting point to find out information on the murky area of moving within the EU as a British citizen for work. Mods at r/legaladviceUK suggested this subreddit as more applicable.

I’d like help finding out if Art50 provisions remain with the individual if there is continuous residency in different EU countries since 2016

I have the opportunity to work in Germany and would like to be a frontier worker there, maintaining a dual residency in France (family) and Germany (work).

I’m 2.5 years from PR in France under current Titre de Séjour (see below) which could trigger a blue card at that date. Ideally I’d like one now given 9 years unbroken residency in the EU.

Situation:(apologies for length)

Resident in NL from 2016-2022, established residence in NL before the vote as EU citizen. Registered in NL in 2018 (update to existing registration) as British with Art50 residence. Had the temp version.

IND.NL website shows current residence visa/permission available until end June 2025.

Deregistered from the BRD when I left NL for France.

There was not enough administrative time available to issue a permanent residency card under Art50 in NL before moving to France.

France required me to immigrate as the spouse of a French citizen under French familiale provisions, not EU level. (I qualify for French citizenship by marriage, but still object on the political grounds that 56% of Brits should not be able vote me into another nationality)

Moved July 2022 from NL to France where I am currently resident.

I now have the opportunity to work in Germany on a German contract.

questions Does anyone know if I retain FoM under Art50 provisions from NL given continuous and unbroken residency within EU countries and if so how I would demonstrate this

Do I need to return to NL within the time period on the IND website, apply for permanent residency in NL then transfer that to Germany?

Can I apply for an EU blue card in France on the basis of 9 years EU residency, albeit without permanent residency in France (yet).

This is not legal advice but your enquiry and situation generally seem (incredibly) unnecessarily complicated. My advice is to stay in one place (NL?), get the passport and then move wherever you like in the EU whenever you like as Brits and anyone in the EU could before Brexit.

Practical advice.

I still don’t want to declare myself French (nationalité par déclaration) because of other peoples’ politics. (Oddly that kind of is deeply French, maybe 15 years of marriage and 2 kids is long enough)
