Though the rights of British people who were living in Germany before January 1st 2021 are assured under the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, it’s not easy to prove it without the Aufenthaltstitel-GB: the special residence card issued to Brits in Germany after Brexit. Most employers want to see evidence that their new hire has the right to work in Germany. Know your rightsThe most important thing to understand is that, unlike a visa, none of your rights as a Brit in Germany are dependent on the card itself. Ask for helpIf the discursive approach doesn’t work, BiG recommends getting help from specialist groups set up to support Brits with their post-Brexit residence issues. Brits whose rights are assured under the Withdrawal Agreement are entitled to jobseekers’ support and other benefits.
