As an EU national working in the European Union, you enjoy certain rights under EU law. For example:

• You don’t need a permit to work in any EU country, either for an employer or as a self-employed person

• If you meet certain conditions, you can live in the country where you work

• In your workplace abroad, you also enjoy the same rights as nationals of that country (pay, health & safety, social security and tax advantages and reinstatement if you are wrongfully dismissed).

As an EU national you generally don't need a work permit to work anywhere in the EU.

Work permits are never required for self-employed people in the EU
