SETTLED STATUS: Step by step 🔔(for EU nationals in the UK) ✅️

🔔This video explains the process for EU citizens to apply for settled status in light of Brexit.

The scheme will open fully by March 2019.

🗣️ Ask a question on settled status in the comments below and I will answer it!

The deadline for applying will be 30 June 2021. You may be able to apply after this date if you’re joining a family member in the UK.

The application form will be online. You’ll be able to get support over the phone or in person if you need help doing things online.

Eligibility
To be eligible for settled status, you’ll need to:

be an EU citizen, or a family member of an EU citizen
have been living in the UK continuously for 5 years (‘continuous residence’)
have started living in the UK by 31 December 2020
If you’ve lived in the UK for less than 5 years, you’ll generally be eligible for ‘pre-settled status’ instead.

If you’re a non-EU citizen, you will need to show your relationship to an EU citizen living here.

Full details of the scheme are still subject to approval by Parliament.

‘Continuous residence’
Continuous residence means you’ve been in the UK for at least 6 months in each of those 5 years, except for:

one period of up to 12 months for an important reason (for example, to work or study)
compulsory military service
If you will not have 5 years’ continuous residence when you apply
You’ll generally get ‘pre-settled status’ instead.

Pre-settled status means you can stay in the UK for a further 5 years. You can live and work here, and will have access to public funds and services on the same basis as you do now.

Once you have 5 years’ continuous residence you can apply for settled status.

I voted leave but I would never want any EU citizen that has worked and payed tax in the UK to lose their rights here. Please dont assume that we hate outsiders, a lot of us focus on the sovereignty issue although I have second thoughts years on.

Hello Tom, I hope you are well.

I started living in the UK in May 2019 and in May 2024 I guess I can apply for the Settlement. Do you think I won't have any problems?

Thank you in advance

If no brexit or may be Article 50 reversed then what ? Home office will pay back the money what is used for settled status application. Because if no brexit then no settlement scheme.

Hi Tom. My brother in law a EU national an has been living in the UK continuously for the last 11 and has a Yellow card residency. Would he be able to apply for British citizenship without indefinite leave to remain? For example my self I have gained British citizenship without indefinite leave to remain 5 years ago. Many thanks
