The UK has a culture of welcoming workers from the EU. Of course there are the occasional negative connotations associated with other European countries including Portugal. There is no doubt about it. But do you think that by writing European Citizen they can get away with it? You cannot hide who you are. You cannot pretend you are British. Sooner or later the employer will know so what is the point of writing European Citizen? The case of the Portuguese emigrants in the UK is completely different from the case of the same in Canada. Here, any citizen from an EU member country does not require a work permit and there are absolutely no restrictions of stay. THEY CAN STAY FOREVER and have exactly THE SAME RIGHTS and privileges of those who are British citizens (except the right of vote for the UK government). Dear Paulo, I didn't quite follow Bosco's line of thought visavis the topic at hand. To me, it appeared that Bosco was bringing an irrelevant and tangential point into the fray. I also agree absolutely with your point wrt EU citizen v citizen of Portugal and amche Goemcar esp the conveniently opportunistic ones. Having said that, I wonder if what you have written above (and I have capped) is entirely accurate. It is true that as long as an EU citizen has a passport or an ID card, he cannot be denied entry into another EU country - subject to security et al clauses AND that he/she will NOT be required to possess a visa. But is it true that he/she "CAN STAY FOREVER and have exactly THE SAME RIGHTS and privileges of those who are British citizens (except the right of vote for the UK government) " ? There is something in the EU "Free Movement of Workers" which might be worth revisiting.....Art 39 EC Additionally, there still might be a time lag for the Free Movement of workers to come into effect in all 25 EU countries.... I believe that at this moment EU15 have preferential rights good wishes as always jc _________________________________________________________________ Join the next generation of Hotmail and you could win the adventure of a lifetime http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/register.aspx _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
