Citizens' Rights Directive

The Citizens' Rights Directive is a European Union law that safeguards the rights of EU citizens and their family members when they move between member countries. It ensures freedom of movement and residence, allowing people to live, work, study, or retire in any EU country and access social benefits under consistent standards. The directive also provides protections against discrimination and outlines rights related to residence documents, healthcare, and social security. Its goal is to promote seamless integration and equal treatment for all EU citizens and their families across member states.
