So it's not all bad news for the nomadic translator. http://www.schengenvisainfo.com Specifically the long-stay (more than 90 days) visa. I haven't read in depth on the Ts and Cs of that however.

Did the result really represent the will of the British people? It seems some who voted to leave didn't realise their vote would count(!!!!!) and have already changed their minds, particularly in the light of promises already being broken by the pro-Brexit politicians. Some cast their vote as a protest vote thinking the Remain camp was strong enough without them. (Hmm!)

DZiW (X) Ukraina angielski > rosyjski + ... Define: "majority" & "bereavement" | Jun 27, 2016 |
I think that a taboo ('politics') is a very nice way to shut opponents up, yet it’s funny how minority speculates about majority, when even half (be it odd or even) is enough to doubt ANY union, not to mention the modern politicized EU (economic-less US liege). The problem. Where is it? First, although the currency ratio fluctuates, we are still talking about one of the strongest world’s economics with its OWN currency (not €), so no problem here (unless a handmade force...

The problem. Where is it? First, although the currency ratio fluctuates, we are still talking about one of the strongest world’s economics with its OWN currency (not €), so no problem here (unless a handmade force majeure), let alone the UK is one of the most ‘magnanimous’ EU investors with, which also counts. Second, localization (focusing) means more jobs for local–BRITISH–people, which just makes the UK even stronger! Not sure, why Scotland and Ireland supposedly so direly long for the EU, yet I see no point joining euro-weaklings. Why so primy? I strongly believe that as far as at least 50% of British people doubt the EU is good for them, then it’s sensible enough to tell lame excuses from real arguments—there’re some two years to consider! In conclusion: as a EU founder, Great Britain can't leaves the EU for it’s very Great Britain who throws away the EU, which is good for the UK, but seems bad for the EU. IMO ▲ Collapse | | |
I agree that immigration has not been discussed in the right way during the campaign and it puzzled me why the remain side didn't use this argument. Our local hospital couldn't function without immigration, especially at higher levels and many cleaners are immigrants too. I am doing an MA at the moment and more than 80% of my course are from Asia (China, Japan ...), however, all these talented young people who have already started a career in their home country and come here to do a...

I do find that incomprehensible and damaging to the British economy. ▲ Collapse | | | Post removed: This post was hidden by a moderator or staff member for the following reason: http://www.proz.com/siterules/general/1#1 | Petition is from the UK Remainers and not the EU | Jun 27, 2016 |
Jack Doughty wrote: How like the EU and its supporters to want a second referendum if the first one produces the "wrong" result. Please don't blame the EU for the petition. Everything I have heard from EU officials was along the lines of: "That's a shame and a pity about the UK. But the UK has clearly made its choice, please get on with things quickly now." Maybe it's a shame that there was a referendum, maybe things are going to work out badly for the UK and/or the EU, etc., but the UK government decided to organize a referendum, they made it happen, and a majority voted to leave the EU. I think that there are very few people in the rest of the EU that want to hear about a petition or the referendum's non-binding character for Parliament. I would have liked to see the "remain" camp win by a clear margin, but they lost, and the last thing that I want now is for the EU to include a UK that has clearly (3-4% is not much of a margin, but it's not that small either, and there was a high turn-out) said it does not want to be a part of it. | |

Dual citizenship | Jun 27, 2016 |
The UK is still in the EU and it will probably take a while for them to officially leave. Germany does not normally permit dual citizenship, but there is a blanket exception for citizens of other EU countries who meet the requirements for dual citizenship. They never have to renounce their original citizenship. I would guess that this is based on an EU directive that has been implemented throughout the EU. So, I would suggest that anyone concerned about this issue (in the UK or else... See more The UK is still in the EU and it will probably take a while for them to officially leave.

So, I would suggest that anyone concerned about this issue (in the UK or elsewhere) should look into this quickly, while they still have time. That may provide a relatively easy solution for a lot of people who obviously ought to be permitted to stay where they are. ▲ Collapse | | | Kay Denney Francja Local time: 16:19 francuski > angielski

I'll have to apply for a residence permit and maybe a work permit, or get married, or apply for French nationality. While I love French people, culture etc and feel very much at home here I do not feel in the least bit French (Doing my job properly does involve ferreting out the very many differences between the French and the Brits). And I have a red-tape phobia too. | | | No respect for what people vote? | Jun 27, 2016 |
Sorry guys, but even if I completely dislike the idea of the UK leaving the EU and think that the vote had a protest component, now that it was voted, shouldn't people's opinion be respected as a supreme value? If the result of the referendum is not respected, wouldn't the value of asking the people drop down to zippo, thus undermining democracy itself?

Yes, I was wrong in my expectations as to how the EU would react. It has a history of demanding second referendums. It has done so twice in the case of Ireland. But on this occasion they just want us to get on with it, and I entirely agree. | | | Stron w wątku: < [1 2 3 4 5] | Do tego forum nie został przydzielony moderator.
