EU Settlement Scheme

Time is running out to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme before the 30 June 2021 deadline.

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 (or is an eligible person of Northern Ireland)
The EEA includes the EU countries and also Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

This means you need to apply even if you:

were born in the UK but are not a British citizen - you can check if you’re a British citizen if you’re not sure
have a UK ‘permanent residence document’
are a family member of an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen who does not need to apply - including if they’re from Ireland
are an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen with a British citizen family member

If you have children, you need to apply for them separately.
