Note(s)

1. Free movement / intra-EU mobility is available under two different schemes. The first scheme is a very open one and applicable to EU citizens who benefit from full freedom of movement. The second scheme concerns migrant workers . Rules applicable here are less generous and limited to specific categories of third-country nationals, i.e. long-term residents , highly skilled workers, researchers and students .
2. Through separate agreements between the EU and IS, LI, NO and CH, the same rights to free movement apply to their citizens and their territories.
