Sweeping away the red tape.

Plenty of countries require visa`s et al if folk choose to go and work there.
America: https://visaguide.world/us-visa/nonimmigrant/employment/
Austrlia: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia
And so on......

We aren`t "in the EU club" anymore so Belgium can ask for whatever they wish.
They ask for this.... "You will also need a medical certificate from one of the Belgian embassy's 'approved' doctors."

And its nice to see Ed`s whining is supported by all those Twatterati with little EU flags by their "name".

Maybe Ed should also have taken note that things would be changing a bit sooner than shortly before his departure.

Your answer would kind of work if Brexiteers campaigned on a promise of more red tape.

Surely border control requires paperwork?
And surely it works both ways once FOM ended?
Thought that was part of the sales pitch, funny how the same thing looks different...

1 person out of 67 million whines on Twatter and that`s a "downside" ??
Border control........ nothing wrong with that for any country.
Completed plenty of entry visa`s over the years.
It`s hardly "new".

Unless you’re in one of a tiny handful of professions, you can’t just choose to go work in the US. Your only chance for a work visa, as a Brit, is to get sponsored by a company. And that’s a tough ask in itself because the cost and red tape for them in hiring you (vs an American) is prohibitive. Most jobs in most companies, they won’t even consider applicants unless they already have the right to work in the US (as, for example, I did through marriage). It would likely be nigh-on impossible for the majority of Brits to get a US work visa.

As you say, 27 EU countries can also now start to apply similar UK restrictions.

Whereas last year, it was easy for us to go and live & work in those countries, now it’s difficult and one day it might also be nigh-on impossible.

From my perspective, that’s a massive amount of freedom that we gave up on Jan 1st.
 
And if you want some "wins"...... ease of doing business...... only behind Denmark out of the 27..

And, should we wish we can do the same......
FOM only serves to push wages down in wealthier countries and raises the living standards for those who can "move and earn".
That can be seen both ways as well.....

Yes, whilst we were in the EU. You're doing a good job of single-handedly dismantling your case.
