So if the Scots have their own passports, what will be their ability to work in other EU countries?
And as they won't be EU citizens, will they need travel visas?

And of course for EU citizens wanting to work in Scotland

Well this is just an opinion but I think that technically they won't be able to unless they have bilateral agreements with them. The same would go for EU citizens in Scotland. So unless Salmond is proposing to deport people who he is allowing to vote then I guess a swift accommodation will be made to ensure people can continue working.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_citizen

In the United Kingdom, as in some other Commonwealth countries, Commonwealth citizens (together with Irish citizens and British protected persons) are in law considered not to be "foreign" or "aliens", although British protected persons do not have all the civic rights that are enjoyed by Commonwealth and Irish citizens. Commonwealth and Irish citizens enjoy the same civic rights as British citizens, namely:
the right to vote in all elections (i.e., parliamentary, local and European [1] elections) as long as they have registered to vote (they must possess valid leave to enter/remain or not require such leave on the date of their electoral registration application.[2])
the right, unless otherwise disqualified, to stand for election to the British House of Commons as long as they possess indefinite leave to remain or do not require leave under the Immigration Act 1971 (c. 77) to enter or remain in the UK.[3]
the right, if a qualifying peer or bishop, to sit in the House of Lords.
eligibility to hold public office (e.g., as a judge, magistrate, minister, police constable, member of the armed forces, etc.).
The disabilities of Commonwealth citizens who are not British citizens are few but, in the case of immigration control, very important. Commonwealth citizens (including British nationals who are not British citizens) who do not have the right of abode are subject to immigration control, including control on the right to work and carry out business. In addition, Commonwealth citizens who are not British citizens may not be engaged in certain sensitive occupations, e.g., in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in the intelligence services, and some positions within the armed forces.



Nevertheless, under the United Kingdom's immigration arrangements Commonwealth citizens enjoy certain advantages:
Commonwealth citizens born before 1 January 1983 may by virtue of having a parent born in the United Kingdom and Islands have the right of abode therein – such persons are exempt from all immigration control.
Commonwealth citizens with a grandparent born in the United Kingdom and Islands may be admitted for up to five years on this basis, and thereafter be granted indefinite leave to remain.
Commonwealth citizens between the ages of 18 and 30 were eligible to be admitted for a "working holiday" for up to two years. This has since been replaced with the more restrictive Youth Mobility Scheme[4] (now open only to youth of Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and Monaco).
Commonwealth citizens, unlike other non-European Economic Area nationals, may not be required to register with the police while living in the United Kingdom.

Im guessing Scotland would be or is a commonwealth member i mean they do take part as a seperate entity in the commonwealth games

Guessing thats why Sophia Lares and Beth managed to become dual nationality so easy because they were from commonwealth countrys

Yes Scotland rejoining the UK would always be possible providing of course the UK was willing to allow Scotland back in. Scotland wouldn't be in a very good bargaining position so they would have to ask very nicely.

If we ever get so far in the shit that we need to come back, we'll have already done it ourselves

I heard that the government will apply for EU funding to get Hadrians Wall repaired. Typical shoddy local councils who have let it fall into a right shocking state

How did you know about our plans to annex part of Cumbria and Northumberland

That's supposed to be top secret

It wouldn't surprise me if you'd tried to get Berwick on Tweed back

They're already playing third tier football

The white paper on Scottish independence confirms that an independent Scotland would continue to be a member of the commonwealth.
