Settlement Scheme for EU citizens
The UK government has committed to protect the rights of EU citizens and their family members currently living in the UK after the UK leaves the UK on 29 March 2019. This includes the right to live here, work here and access public services such as healthcare and benefits.
To retain these rights after 31 December 2020, EU citizens must apply for UK immigration status under the EU Settlement Scheme. Further detail on the Settlement Scheme can be found at GOV.UK.
The Scheme fully launches to the public by 30 March 2019.
Irish citizens enjoy a right of residence in the UK that is not reliant on the UK’s membership of the EU. They will not be required to apply for status under the EU Settlement Scheme.
Information
The Prime Minster triggered article 50 on 29 March 2017. EU staff immigration status has not changed as a result of the vote to leave the European Union. This will remain the case unless the Government decides otherwise. You may find the following useful:
