How to apply for EU Settled Status

Are you an EU citizen living in the UK or do you work with people from the EU? Do you have European friends or family members?Did you know that EU citizens living in the UK have to apply for a new immigration status called settled status after the UK leaves the EU?

The UK will no longer be part of the EU, so all EU citizens currently living in the UK need to apply for settled status with the Home Office. You can apply using a smartphone or visit one of the Home Office’s support centres around the country. 

EU citizens must apply regardless of how long they have been here, whether they work or not or whether they have a British partner or children who are British.

It’s not only EU citizens who are affected by this change in immigration status. Family members of EU citizens also need to apply for settled status if they are not British. 

Here are some useful websites to find out more about the settled status scheme:
