I didn't say there would be visas but we are actually talking, (at least some brexit people are), of possibly having visas for certain EU countries if we leave.

So it is not impossible if we don't still accept the free movement of EU citizens that in some way visas 'could' not 'will' be introduced by the EU to us and even from us to the EU or some Nations in the EU.

There isn't total free movement to Norway though if you look at the government website you can travel to Norway for six months but after that there may be some visa requirement, I'd imagine the UK would adopt a similar, just putting it out there that the UK going out doesn't automatically mean no visa less trips

A lot will depend on what the other 27 EU Nations decide as to their view of the UK walking away from the EU.
Whatever deal we get with the EU will have to be agreed by the remaining 27 Nations.
obviously some will be warmer to the UK than others but a lucrative solid trading deal is not certain and that is the thing for me, we have no idea a this time really what conditions,the EU will want to place on the UK as to trading with them.

It seems even from the out side here, even they cannot tell us what is the actual deal we should be seeking.
Norway and Switzerland have never been in the EU but still have to in part or fully accept free movement of EU citizens.

I know I keep saying this but we helped the formation of the EU as it is now,our govts signed up to the treaties brought forward.
What Nations left in the EU will make of us marching off after doing that and signing up to everything except the euro.
We will not know that until we have left.

The EU will have to put as its first consideration, the wishes and will of all those 27 Nations left,I'd guess fro most of those Nations their priority for sure will not be to fall over and really assist the UK that much,since the UK is the one who will have chosen to walk away after agreeing and signing up to everything except as to joining the euro.
