EU Settlement Scheme

On 21 January 2019 the prime Minister announced that there will be no fee when the EU Settlement Scheme fully opens on the 30 March 2019. 

If you have already applied you will have your fee refunded. However, there are no details on the refund policy at this stage. Once the details are announced we will provide you with an update.

Who Should Apply?

If you’re an EU citizen or a family member of an EU citizen, you’ll usually need to apply if you want to stay in the UK after 30 June 2021.

This includes if you either:

• were born in the UK but are not a British citizen
• are married to a British citizen and you’re from the EU

You do not need to apply if:

• you’re an Irish citizen - your family members from outside either the UK or Ireland will still need to apply
• you have indefinite leave to enter the UK
• you have indefinite leave to remain in the UK

You can apply if you already have indefinite leave to remain in or enter the UK, but you do not need to.

Your family members from outside either the UK or Ireland will still need to apply even if you do not need to.
