Brexit video about EU citizens and the information they need about what settled status in the United Kingdom is, who will be covered and the application process.
"Brexit Day" will be 29 March 2019 but the transition period will take EU citizens through to 31 December 2020.
The EU and the UK have come to a provisional agreement of your rights as an EU citizen in the UK.
If you apply for and secure the new "pre-settled status" or "settled status" in the UK, your right will continue, in other words, you will be able to continue to reside in the UK, to work and have access to healthcare, etc.
Who is covered? All EU citizens who arrive before the end of the transition period of 31 December 2020:
1) Bear in mind the that this is a deadline - if you are not resident in the UK before that date, then you will not be able to apply for pre-settled or settled status. You will instead be subject to the new, and likely more onerous, post-Brexit regime;
2) The actual deadline for applications, however, is several months after that, so you will not need to apply before the end of the transition period. However, given the numbers of EU citizens in the UK who will need to apply, over 3 million of them, you may want to apply early to secure your rights.
The UK government is saying that the application process will be an easy one.
Many EU citizens will already have so called "permanent residence" in the UK. You can secure this status if you have been doing a so-called qualifying activity in the UK, like working. If you already have a document certifying your right to permanent residence in the UK, then you will be able to swap this for the new settled status, without having to go through the settled status application.
Brexit presents many uncertainties and so this video talks through the options for you as an EU citizens.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions about settled status then please do not hesitate to put them in the comments below.
Many thanks!

Thank you Tom..

Hello, i have one question. I arrived on uk october 2018, I understand that I would be able to apply settle status on octuber 2023, but what if I went outside uk on september 2020 and came back march 2021 (exact count of 6 months in total)? Are they going to refuse my application? What would happen if they refuse my settled application? Would I be able to still have pre-settled status? Or I am not eligible to live in UK anymore? Thank you in advance.
