Tamana Aziz, a Director of Immigration specialising in Business Immigration law under the Points Based System has written for Asian voice on how Brexit will affect businesses and the wider affect it will have on free movement. She reassures that legally not much has changed with the EEA regulations; however, she warns that Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) may be the most affected moving forward. Dr Ross Brown led research on the impact of Brexit on SMEs, which revealed that the negative consequences of Brexit will ultimately mean reduced capital investment. As the most significant enterprises for economic growth, this may have wider reaching implications for the UK. Tamana has extensive experience representing businesses and individuals with immigration applications under EU Law. She states: ‘As an EEA national, if you have been living in the UK exercising your treaty rights for 5 years or more, you should apply for a permanent residence card now before we exit in March 2019. Once you have held a permanent residence card for at least 12 months you will be eligible to naturalise as a British national.’
