Might be better to tell us what sort of work you are looking for and which country. In theory as an EU citizen you can live & work in any EU country but I expect they all have differing requirements as to residency, France is one example. Think of a country & then go on the expat forum that covers that country & ask advice there.

Hi Hector, We was looking at Grecce, I have signed up to the expat forum but not much info on the Grecce side of things from what i can see.



Workwise i would be looking for anything really just to get into the feel of things, any advice would help cheers.

Hi Kelvin



ALL EU and EEA countries have to obey EU directive 2004/EC/38 ( Switzerland, Norway incl)



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_2004/38/EC_on_the_right_to_move_and_reside_freely



So 'even ' France has to adhere to the rules or make it EASIER than the rules..



So, as a UK Citizen you have a right to reside in a third country provided you can work, or support yourself.
