The UK have no plans to deport currently law abiding EU citizens, either. So everybody is happy.

As long as they pay a large fee.

"Protecting the rights of EU and U.K. citizens has been one of our main priorities since the beginning of the negotiations with the U.K.," the Commission said.



The document could be requested by the approximately 1.2 million British people who currently live in the EU and any other Briton moving to the bloc this year.



Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, it is up to each EU country to decide whether to require U.K. nationals apply and obtain a document proving their residence rights under the Brexit deal.

This negates a lot of the tripe I have been reading on some ex-pat forums suggesting they could be deported.
