EU Settlement Scheme
The EU Settlement Scheme continues to affect a great many people, whether they are moving from pre-settled to settled status, dealing with long absences, or applying as a family member.
The questions are usually about residence and evidence rather than about eligibility in principle.
Services
What we advise on
Every service below is a page in its own right, with the requirements, evidence and issues set out in plain English.
Status under the scheme
Before you proceed
Common EUSS difficulties
- extended absences that may affect continuous residence
- years of residence with very little documentary evidence
- status held through a family member whose circumstances have changed
- relationships that began after the relevant dates
- uncertainty about what pre-settled status actually permits
Evidence of residence takes time to assemble
Employment, tenancy, study and medical records all help. Start gathering them before you need them.
