Think this might be a good place for this:
Just a small example of the way that Brexit is messing up people's lives because their loves and occupations go beyond national borders. Posted by a Brit living in Poland
I'm pasting the lot because it might reach more people than it would if I just posted a link
Start
1/ A depressing night at the British Embassy regarding #Brexit. The Government clearly only thinks (or cares) about super straight forward cases, but some people are utterly terrified...
2/ first, woman attending for 99 yr old mum, who’s lived in PL 50 yrs & received letter saying she’d lose healthcare access. She doesn’t receive her UK pension into PL bank acc, or qualify for private care, so will now have to pay 400zl a month to ZUS to receive treatment...
3/ Indian citizen, mum to a little girl who’s a British citizen because estranged father’s English. Mum in PL legally atm because daughter currently EU citizen. Until Brexit when, as a result, mum will lose right to stay. Unresolved.
4/ British woman just moved to Poland because Italian partner has been posted here for work for 3 years. Couple haven’t yet found anywhere to live, as such she’ll be unable to apply for Brexit temporary residency card unless they find a home in the next week.
5/ Polish woman owns a home and lives in Poland, husband works in Jersey and is not resident here. After Brexit will not therefore be able to be in Poland for longer than 90 days at a time. Will have to leave his wife every 90 days.
6/ British citizens will lose access to the NHS in the UK after no deal Brexit. Family and friends coming to visit us in Poland will have to apply for health/travel insurance just to visit.
7/ Spouses of British citizens visiting their families in Britain will either have to be brought into the country with their UK citizen travel partner, or if travelling alone, face 3rd country national queues to show why they are coming to visit their own families
8/ Spouses of UK citizens will have up to March 2022 to apply for UK Settled Status, but be subject to new income-related immigration law after that. I have to buy my own wife into my own country.
10/ The truth is, at a deep personal level, Brexit is ruining lives. Of course those who think the EU is just foreigners coming to UK and an open Irish border think damage will be minimal. But these are real people, real families and real lives being affected.
I should add a thanks to the British Embassy, despite the situation they’re being very helpful. And the Polish Government who, don’t forget, have no real obligation to be as he generous as they are to UK citizens. Feel like they care more about me than my own Government.
