You need to get a Frontier Worker permit if you want to work in the UK but live in another country.
You may be eligible if all of the following apply:
- You’re from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein
- You live outside of the UK
- You began working in the UK by 31 December 2020
If you’re an Irish citizen, you do not need to apply for a Frontier Worker permit but you can choose to do so.
You cannot apply if you’re a British citizen (this includes dual citizenship).
This permit allows you to enter the UK as a frontier worker and proves your right to:
- Work
- Rent
- Access benefits and services, including NHS healthcare, if you meet the relevant eligibility requirements
