EU Settlement Scheme – Less than 3 days left to apply
From today, Monday 28 June, there are less than 3 days left to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), before the deadline on 30 June 2021.
This is a final reminder for all EU, EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members who were resident in the UK by 31 December 2020, to secure their rights in UK law by applying to the EUSS at www.gov.uk/eusettlementscheme so they can continue to work, study, and access benefits and free healthcare in the UK after 30 June 2021. It is free and straightforward to apply, and anyone applying before the deadline will have their rights protected while their application is processed.
An application must be made for every eligible child within a family. Parents should check if they need to apply to the EUSS for their children, even if they have already applied and been granted a status themselves.
If an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen and their family members have lived in the UK for many years or have a permanent residence document or EEA Biometric Residence Card (BRC), they still need to apply to the EUSS by 30 June 2021 to secure their existing rights in the UK.
Irish citizens and those with indefinite leave do not need to apply but may do so if they wish. British citizens, including naturalised British citizens don’t need to apply.
Time is running out
Secure your own existing rights or encourage eligible EU, EEA and Swiss citizens you know living in the UK to apply now online at www.gov.uk/eusettlementscheme
