How long does the process take for a German citizen to be able to legally work and go to school in the UK?

Also,same question about a person who has a record of being deported from a country?

If you are an EEA national or a Switzer then there is really very little you need to do if you want to work or study in the UK (you don't need a visa). I am pretty sure it is one of the rights of the European Community or whatever it's called. Anyway, I guess all you need to do is get accepted into a uni programme or get a job if you want to study or work there.

But I suppose I'll let someone more familiar with UK immigration law give you a definitive answer.

As a German Citizen, you have full employment and education rights under EU Law. All you have to do is get here then you can look for a job/school/college.

One minute. It's called the European Union. I spent three-and-a-half-years at school and four years at university in the UK, and nothing was easier than that.

I'll never understand why people don't want to just stay in their own countries.

Now this all depends on how you define a 'German Citizen'. If you mean a full blooded racial brother or sister that came in legally with all the paper work and everything legit... quite a long time!

If your surname is Mohammed and you've just jumped out the back of someones van and can't speak a word of English then...

welcome aboard son, this is England, help yourself to a free council house, free food and free education...

Too bad the European Union doesn't apply to us southern, insular Germanics. I'd love to work and study up there, but apparently dole bludgers from the Third World get priority.

There is no process,you have the same rights as a British citizen except the right to vote etc.
