EU Settlement Scheme

EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens who were living in the UK before 30th December 2020 will need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. The close family members of these EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens may also be able to apply. The scheme opened March 2019 and the deadline for most individuals to apply was 30th June 2021. If you have not yet applied, you may have grounds available to you to justify a late application.

EU citizens, and their eligible family members, who have been continuously resident in the UK for five years or more may apply for settled status. They can continue to work, study, and access benefits and services in the UK as they have done. Those who have been resident in the UK for less than five years will be eligible for pre-settled status. They can continue to work, study, and access some benefits and services.

The deadline for most individuals to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme has now passed. If you have not yet applied, please get in touch with Newfields Law for assistance with applying. If you have come to the UK after 31st December as a family member of an EU, EEA, or Swiss Citizen you can still apply.

Information on the application process can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families
