TODAY, Tuesday 23 March, we will be marking 100 days to go until the deadline of 30 June 2021 for applications to be made to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS).
This milestone is a great opportunity for us to work together to bring the fast- approaching deadline to the attention of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens in your local authority.
All EU, EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members, who were resident in the UK by 31 December 2020, should apply without delay so that they can continue to work, study, access free healthcare and benefits in the UK after 30 June 2021.
New social media content available

Remember
– If an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen and their family members have lived in the UK for many years or have a permanent residence document or EEA Biometric Residence Card (BRC), they still need to apply to the EUSS (or apply for British Citizenship) by 30 June 2021 to continue to live and work in the UK.
– An application must be made for every eligible child within a family. Parents should apply on behalf of their children even if they have already applied and been granted a status themselves.
– Eligible close family members living overseas can apply to join an EU, EEA or Swiss family member who started living in the UK by 31 December 2020. More information on joining family members can be found on GOV.UK.
– Those who have successfully applied to the EUSS can access their pre-settled or settled status online at: www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status.
Thank you for your continued support in assisting EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens to apply to the EUSS, helping to secure their future in the UK.
