The EU Settlement Scheme was introduced on the 30th March 2019 as a way to protect the rights of EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens living in the UK. It allows them and their family members to continue living, working, and studying in the UK after free movement ended on 31 December 2020.
There are two main outcomes under the scheme:
Unlike most UK visas, the EU Settlement Scheme is completely free no Home Office fees, no NHS surcharge, and a fully digital status.
The EUSS gives EU citizens and their families the right to remain in the UK legally after Brexit. It ensures access to work, healthcare, education, and public services.
Not everyone is eligible only those linked to the EU’s free movement rights.
There are two forms of status depending on residence history.
Applications are made online through the UK government system.
Once granted, you have rights similar to those of UK residents.
The main deadline was 30 June 2021, but some people can still apply.
