How can I apply for status under the EU Settlement Scheme?

If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, you and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. If your application is successful, you’ll get either settled or pre-settled status.

All information about the EU Settlement Scheme can be found on the UK Government website.

Except in a few cases, you need to apply if:

- you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen
- you’re not an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, but your family member is

British citizens cannot apply. Irish citizens do not need to apply but may do so if they wish.

The deadline for applying is 30 June 2021.

You can apply using any device, for example, a laptop, Android device or iPhone. You can apply to the Settlement Scheme for free. If you have already applied to the EU Settlement Scheme during the test phase and paid a fee, you can request a refund.
