Hello
Those individuals holding a permanent residence card in an EU member Estate can apply for a work and residence permit in other EU member Estate following the process the particular country has established, which will include proving sources of income and having medical cover. Automatic right to residency does not exist, but the procedure will certainly be more straightforward and simple than for the general rule. Please read an extract of the concerning Law below, and click on the Law title to read it in full.
Council Directive 2003/109/EC of 25 November 2003 concerning the status of third-country nationals who are long-term residents.
"Right of residence in the other EU countries
A long-term resident may exercise the right of residence, for a period exceeding three months, in an EU country other than the one which granted him/her the status, subject to compliance with certain conditions, including:
exercise of an economic activity in an employed or self-employed capacity;
pursuit of studies or vocational training;
other purposes.
However, an EU country may limit the number of residence permits if, at the time of the adoption of this directive, limitations for the admission of non-EU nationals are already set out in existing national law. At the same time, for reasons of labour market policy, EU countries may give preference to Union citizens.
The above conditions do not concern employees posted for the purpose of cross-border provision of services or providers of cross-border services.
When the application for a residence permit is lodged, the competent authorities in the second EU country * may require the presentation of certain documents (such as the long-term residence permit, an identity document, an employment contract, documentation with regard to appropriate accommodation, etc.) and evidence of stable and regular resources and medical insurance."
