The EU Settlement Scheme

The deadline for most people to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme was 30 June 2021.

You can still apply if either:

• the deadline for you to apply is after 30 June 2021
• you have ‘reasonable grounds’ for why you did not apply by the deadline

If you’re an EU, EEA (European Economic Area) or Swiss citizen, you and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. The EEA includes the EU countries and also Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

Use the online tool and follow this guide that takes you through all the steps to find out if you should apply.

This guidance sets out the documents you will need in order to make your application - what documents you’ll need to apply

Settlement status

If your application is successful, you’ll be given either:

• settled status
• pre-settled status

You will not be asked to choose which you’re applying for. Which status you get depends on how long you’ve been living in the UK when you apply. Your rights will be different depending on which status you get.
