As an EEA national you have a right of residence in the United Kingdom if you can show that you are working in the United Kingdom or you have enough money to support yourself throughout your stay without public funds (see the Public Funds page on the Home Office web site for full details).
The main advantage for you as an EEA national is that you do not require a work permit if you want to work in the United Kingdom. Your family will be able to join you in the United Kingdom. This includes your spouse, civil partner, children or grandchildren under 21 or, if they are over 21, dependent on you. It also includes dependent relatives such as your parents, parents-in-law or people in a durable relationship. Other relatives can also sometimes come to the United Kingdom. For your family to join you, they should usually obtain a so-called family permit at the nearest British Embassy or High Commission. More information about this is available from UK Visas.
You should also be aware that there are special provisions for eight of the member states which joined on 1 May 2005 (Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia). More information about this is available here.
Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU on 1 January 2007. However, their nationals have restricted rights to work. More information about this is available here.
