UK Citizens Need Not Leave Germany Urgently in Case of No-Deal Brexit - Berlin
14:19 GMT 07.01.2019 (Updated: 15:32 GMT 28.05.2023) BERLIN, January 7 (Sputnik) - UK citizens staying in Germany will not be obliged to immediately leave Germany in case of a no-deal Brexit, Soren Schmidt, the spokesman for the German Interior Ministry, said on Monday.
"In case of an uncoordinated withdrawal [from the European Union] not a single [UK] citizen will be obliged to immediately leave Germany", Schmidt stated.
He specified that in case of a no-deal Brexit, UK citizens would lose their status of EU citizens and would therefore need a residence permit for long-term staying in Germany. They will be given three months to receive this permit.

While Great Britain is set to withdraw from the European Union by late March, a no-deal Brexit remains highly possible due to disagreements on the final Brexit deal between the UK government and the parliament.
The PM needs 318 votes to get a deal through the Parliament. However, 117 of 317 Conservative lawmakers voted against her in a confidence vote on 12 December, protesting against her stance in the negotiations with Brussels.
