In and after Brexit, a vast majority of British residents
and some people around in Europe are expected to suffer.
Among those, the things will hit worst to the EU nationals that are
living and/or working in the UK and British expatriates
in Europe, totalling some 5 millions. Their future is
very uncertain to say the least. Chances are they will
lose both the job and residency, once the UK has withdrawn
from the EU. The leading politicians in the UK have made
no promise or given no assurance at the time of writing,
a month after the referendum. Some hawks have even made
a statement of dismissal of anything hopeful.
A few of my friends of British nationals that live in Europe
are advocating keeping their status and rights. I was then asked
what would happen if a similar thing happened in Japan?
That is an interesting question, if hypothetical.
This is an answer from me, a Japanese expatriate residing in the UK.
