Important Information for all European Union Citizens, Citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss Citizens

Following the UK’s exit from Europe on 31st December 2020, all European Union / European Economic Area and Swiss citizens living and working in the UK are required to apply for ‘Settled’ or ‘Pre-Settled Status’.

This involves completing an on-line application and document checks.  If approved, this will allow European Union / European Economic Area and Swiss citizens to continue to live and work in the UK.

The deadline for completing this process is 30th June 2021 and we urge any customers who are European Union / European Economic Area and Swiss citizens to make an application as soon as possible in case of any delays.

Further information and full details of what is required to complete an application is available at the government website here.
