EU citizenship: Rights and Opportunities brochure cover
European Commission

EU citizenship is a unique concept. If you are a national of one of the 27 EU Member States, then you are also automatically an EU citizen. It means, for instance, that you can live and work in another EU Member State without the need for a visa, work or residence permit.

EU citizenship is also about having an active role in the democratic process, shaping the rules that apply throughout the EU.

This brochure provides you with what you need to know about your rights and explains how they can be used best as an EU citizen.
