European Citizenship

Any national of any member state of the European Union possesses European citizenship and therefore benefits from a variety of rights that non-European citizens do not receive. European citizenship does not simply refer to any individual that resides upon the continent. Instead, it refers explicitly to citizens of member states of the European Union.
Citizenship of the European Union was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty — signed in 1992, and in force since 1993. European citizenship is supplementary to national citizenship and affords citizens rights such as:
The right to vote in European elections
The right to free movement, settlement, and employment across the EU
The right to consular protection by other EU states’ embassies when a person’s country of citizenship does not maintain an embassy or consulate in the country where they require protection
Citizens of the United Kingdom are no longer considered European citizens, even if they still reside upon the continent. This is because, following the enforcement of the results from the Brexit referendum, the United Kingdom is no longer a member of the EU.
