EU Settlement Scheme

EU nationals and their family members who resided in the UK prior to December 31, 2020, are eligible to apply for residence rights under the EU Settlement Scheme.

Pre-settled status (temporary permission) and established status (indefinite leave to remain) are the two types of permissions available under the scheme.

If you were residing in the UK for less than five years on 31 December 2020 you were expected to make an application for a pre-settled status before 30 June 2021. Pre-settled status was granted for five years and from September 2023 is extended automatically for another two years.

You may qualify for settled status under the EU settlement scheme once you have been resident in the UK continuously for five years.

For certain family members of EU nationals residing outside the UK, you may be eligible for an EU Family Permit in order to enter the UK.

You have the option to request an administrative review or file an appeal if your application for a settled status is refused.

If you wish to make an application, please contact us via phone/email/online form or chat with us to discuss your case.
