Workers from the EU or EEA who were living in the UK before 31 December 2020 and wish to continue living and working in the UK without a visa from 1 July need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme as a matter of urgency. Applications must be submitted by 30 June 2021 and workers will receive settled or pre‐settled status depending on how long they have been living in the UK when they apply.

Whilst it is the responsibility of the individual to submit an application, members may wish to provide support to their employees, and there is a comprehensive pack for employers containing a range of useful resources you can share with employees to help them apply.
