Migrant Workers: A2 Countries
On the 1 January 2007 two more countries joined the EEA
- Romania
- Bulgaria
Similar to those from the A8 countries, workers from these countries, commonly referred to as the A2 countries, generally have a restriction on their access to the UK labour marker for a period of 5 years after joining the EEA.
A2 Nationals who want to take up employment in the UK from the 1st January 2007 generally need to apply for a workers authorisation document, see CCM20140
