Worker Registration Scheme In UK

Entering the UK

Upon arrival at a UK port-of-entry you will need to show your passport or identity card and go through the EU/EEA queue if arriving at a British port or airport. You may travel to the UK with your immediate family (spouse, children, dependent relatives if you are not on student status, and non-EU unmarried partners if they meet immigration regulations). If any of your family is not an EU/EEA national, then they must apply for an EEA family permit at the British Embassy in their home country before travelling to the UK.

You are entitled to apply for a residence permit confirming that you have full rights of free movement within the EU if you meet the following requirements:
 
You are a citizen of Malta or Cyprus working in the UK; or
