Croatians to be granted same rights as EU citizens
Jun 12, 2018
Croatians will have unrestricted access to the UK jobs market from the end of June, the Home Office has confirmed.
Currently Croatian nationals seeking employment must be sponsored by their employer before they can apply for an Accession Worker Card (aka Purple Card) which usually requires a resident test to be completed prior to a CoS being issued.
From the end of June however, their rights to work in Britain will fall in line with other EU citizens.
The Home Office could have extended the restricted access by a further two years but, with fewer than 10,000 Croatians living in the UK, they have conceded that there is not enough evidence to extend the controls any further.
