Daft Treat Right Question

[Wanderer]

Silly question really, as I worked in EU for a year in 2012 (before COL rule) did I excercise a treaty right?

Just wondering, I have no need to avail of it if I did, just interested!

Yes, (if not on done on a country-specific work visa).
And you must have exercised your free movement right too in order to get there.

Interesting. What if the other state was Switzerland, where the freedom of movement rules apply but you are issued with a local work permit as well? I wasn't working there, just seeking to expand my knowledge in this area.

I was in Germany and Ireland with no local permit obviously. In terms of actually exercising that right, what exactly does that entail? Just by working and living (in my case)?

Not sure about Switzerland.

In terms of Germany and Eire, yes just being there & working is enough.
That is assuming the work was 'genuine & effective'.

It gets a little more messy and complicated if you were living across a border &/or flying back & forth (home or elsewhere) every few days.

Word on the street is that Wanderer was doing a paper round in Stuttgart. I'm not entirely sure if this constitutes exercising treaty rights under the EEA regulations.

I'm a self-employed elephant circumsicer. The wages are poor but the tips are emormous. Unfortunately I recently got fired got getting the sack.....

I've waited 11 years on this board to post that! Thanks!!

More like racing on the Autobahn as a passenger in his wife's car and needing a clean pair of shorts!!!
