There’s now just 15 days until the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) deadline of 30 June 2021.
The scheme, which is part of the UK’s new post-Brexit immigration system, offers citizens of the 27 EU member states, as well as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, the right to keep living and working in the UK as they did when the country was part of the EU.
All EU, EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members who were resident in the UK by 31 December 2020, should apply without delay. Applications are free but must be submitted by the deadline of 30 June, 2021.
Apply to the scheme to continue to work, study, access free healthcare and benefits in the UK
