Many Britons living in France are applying for French nationality .. including Collette Taylor-Jones. She’s worried about having to apply for a residence permit if Britain leaves the bloc.
“I decided to change my nationality when the whole ‘Brexit’ story started because I actually was kind of worried that I would have to ask for what we call a ‘titre de sejour’ [residence permit] to be able to keep on living and working in a country where I’ve been my whole life,” says Taylor-Jones.
If Britain does leave the EU, it may be able to stay in the European Economic Area (EEA) alongside non-EU member states Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
At this stage, there is a lot of uncertainty. A withdrawal from the bloc would likely take years to negotiate.
