EU Settlement Scheme
The EU Settlement Scheme deadline of the 31st December 2020 is fast approaching. If you have not taken action yet or are unsure on if you need to take action please read this guidance leaflet and if unsure contact the HR Department for further guidance. Please remember these key points:
- If you are an EU citizen, resident in the UK by 31 December 2020, you and your family members (including non-EU citizens) need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue to live, work and study in the UK beyond 30 June 2021.
- Even if you have lived in the UK for many years or you have a permanent residence document, you still need to apply.
- You do not need to apply if you have indefinite leave to remain or enter, or you are an Irish citizen, but you can if you want to.
- The online application checks your identity and UK residence, and asks you to declare any criminal convictions. The deadline for applications is 30 June 2021.
- For information about applying on behalf of children, visit the GOV.UK page at gov.uk/eusettlementscheme.
