UK Worker Registration Scheme

From 1 May 2004, most nationals of the new member states (except Cyprus and Malta) working in the UK will be subject to the Accession State Worker Registration Scheme. Where they are subject to the scheme, they need to register if they plan to work for more than one month for an employer in the UK.

Once you have been working legally in the UK for 12 months without a break you will have full rights of free movement. You can then get an EEA residence permit confirming your status.

Nationals of Malta and Cyprus working in the UK can apply for a residence permit now.
