EU Settlement Scheme: Pre-Settled Status

We assist resident EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens and their families who lived in the UK by the end of the Withdrawal Period on 31 December 2020. If you have not reached 5 years of residence, we secure Pre-Settled Status and map the steps to Settled Status. Joining family members can start with an EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit.

Who it is for

Resident EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens and their family members who were living in the UK by 31 December 2020 and have not yet completed 5 years' residence.

What we handle

Eligibility checks, residence evidence, digital application completion, and linking to family permits for joining family members.

Outcome we target

A secure grant of Pre-Settled Status with a roadmap to transition to Settled Status once continuous residence reaches 5 years.
