What does Brexit means for young people? Your questions answered

Even after 2 years nothing will change, that is unless the UK holds a referendum to also leave the EEA, but doing so would be absolutely disastrous because that is our last chance at trading with Europe, and the EEA also provides right of free movement across the EU and Swiss/Liechtenstein/Norway (non-EU countries that are signees in the EEA)

Thank you, so the changes do not come in before 2 years? I have read on sites that some of them are made before.

So if immigration rules only changes at the end, should I come in sooner as a freelancer and then I am likely to be able to stay? Or does it not affect visa application?

There's no timeline for negotiation yet - there's no official notification to the EU that we want to leave planned until October.There is a definite 2 year period once the UK government send official notice to the EU to negotiate the terms of leaving. It might be that terms are agreed within that period but they aren't likely to happen until the end of the period of negotiation (so they might say 12 months in "this is how we're going to handle EU citizens living in the UK and UK citizens living in the EU" but that just gives everyone 12 months warning and time to prepare)

Noone can predict what will happen with immigration rules but generally if you can demonstrate ties to the UK through living and working here for a period of time then that will count in your favour if freedom of movement rules are changed.

If we leave the EU we would have to join EFTA to be part of the EEA. We left EFTA in 1973 http://www.efta.int/about-efta/european-free-trade-association.
That transition to join EFTA isn't a guaranteed outcome and there's no guarantee that membership could be negotiated without a break affecting free movement.

I am a 16 year old Dutch passport holder living in the UK for 15 years of my life. How will Brexit affect me and my chances of getting into university and funding for university?

If the Dutch government allows dual citizenship then you are eligible to apply for British citizenship: https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen

It costs a bit (~£1200 atm) but that would guarantee you will be treated as a British citizen for university fees and funding and for work purposes.

Be sure to check that you can get dual citizenship with the Dutch passport though - that way you have the freedom to live in the EU guaranteed as well.
