Thanks, yes. I knew we'd both have to get, for example, the carte de sejour if we moved to France.

I just remembered. If you have a contract of employment, a lot of the EEA countries have changed their policies this year and you no longer have to have the formal resident permit. That only applies to the person working though.

Well, mine was reluctant at first, but he loves visiting all the European cities. Last year we did Venice, Edinburgh, Nice, Amsterdam and in March we're going to Dublin!

Yes, because there are some people who hold Right of Abode
in the UK but who are not British Citizens. Therefore a Right of
Abode stamp in a non-British passport does not prove that the
person is a British citizen.

Abode stamp in a non-British passport does not prove that the
