| Sep 23, 2016 at 11:36 | comment | added | Gala | Formally, I think there are at least two distinct permanent statuses for non-nationals. The Indefinite Leave to Remain and "Permanent Residence" for EU citizens under directive 2004/38/EC. Intent is definitely relevant for the former but I was surprised to find that the directive unambiguously states that losing the latter can only result from two years of absence from the country. If the transcription in UK law is similar and this interpretation is correct, it would mean that you would not immediately lose that status even if your situation shows that you intend to leave the UK for good. | |

In one of the links mentioned by Gala in the answer below states an EU citizen who has acquired that status can lose it after spending two years outside of the country. We've never thought of Germany as a permanent move. It's just a cheaper base after having been married and done some globetrotting. Our current contract in Berlin ends after about 6 months. We may just move to the UK after that because it is how we see our long-term future. | |
