Can EU long-term residents move and work in other EU countries?

Unlike a purely national permit, EU long-term resident status carries an intra-EU mobility right: holders can move to another Member State, including to change jobs and work, which mirrors aspects of EU citizens' mobility.

This cross-border dimension is one of the main reasons applicants choose the EU permit over a national one. The destination country still applies its own procedures and conditions, so moving is not automatic and should be planned in advance.
