EU Citizens – Work in the UK with a Frontier Worker Permit

Do you want to work in the UK? Are you concerned that after Brexit it’s not as easy? Don’t worry – there is a way and it’s available to all Europeans who have worked in the UK before 31st December 2020.

The Frontier Worker Permit, is available to EU citizens who are employed in the UK, but resident elsewhere.  You can apply for a permit at gov.uk and what’s best it is free.

With millions of jobs available in the UK right now, there has never been a better time to come and secure work.

You’ve probably got some questions. We can help by answering some of them for you –

Who is eligible to apply for a Frontier Worker Permit?

You may be eligible if all of the following apply:

  • You’re from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein
  • You live outside of the UK (You spent less than 180 days in the UK yearly or return to the country you live in at least once every 6 months, or twice in a 12-month period)
  • You began working in the UK by 31 December 2020 (If you worked in the UK before 31 December 2020, but then returned to your home country, you may still be eligible. So if you worked for us previously and are keen to come back to work in the UK, this is the answer.) (source: gov.uk)

How long can I work in the UK for once I have a permit?

A Frontier Work Permit lasts for 5 years. Whilst it won’t lead to ILR status, it does mean that you can take work in the UK as often as you like during those 5 years. You can even choose to work in the UK seasonally. We get plenty of calls to seasonal workers so there’s always lots to choose from.

During your time in the UK, CSP Recruitment will provide you with an ongoing job and the possibility to work overtime for a higher pay rate.

How do I apply?

There are 3 steps to the application process –

Step One – Confirm your identity.

Step Two – Prepare your application.

Step Three – Provide evidence of your previous work in the UK and submit your application.
