Your Europe is an EU site designed to help you do things in other European countries – avoiding unnecessary inconvenience and red tape.
This can mean moving, living, studying, working, shopping or simply travelling abroad. Or, as a company, doing business abroad.
As an EU national – or national of Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway – you have certain rights in these areas. But they may not always be observed when a country hasn't yet fully implemented the relevant EU law.
Your Europe offers:
The information on this site is mainly aimed at EU nationals and their families (including family members from non-EU countries).
In most cases, the EU rights described in Your Europe apply to all EU member countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
