What is EU Pre-Settled Status UK?

People who started living in the UK by December 31, 2020 (the end of the “Withdrawal Period”) and want to stay there after June 30, 2021 (the end of the “Grace Period”) can use the EU Settlement Scheme. This includes EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens and their family members.

A 5-year limited leave, also called Pre-Settled Status, is awarded to eligible individuals who still need to complete a continuous 5-year qualifying residence period in the UK. Once you have lived in the UK for 5 years and met the requirements, you can apply for Settled Status.

Family members of an EU, EEA, or Swiss cousin who started living in the UK by December 31, 2020, and the relationship started before that date can also join the EU Settlement Scheme. Before coming to the UK, they must apply for an EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit. If they want to stay, they must apply for Pre-Settled Status.

What are the Requirements for EU Pre Settled Status?

To be eligible for Pre-Settled Status, you must meet the following requirements set out by UK Visas & Immigration:

  • You are a member of the EEA; or
  • You are living with an EEA national or a member of their family; or
  • Moreover, you are a family member who has kept their right to live in the EEA because they are related to a relevant EEA person; or
  • You have a legally derived right to live; or
  • You have the right to live in Zambrano, and
  • By December 31, 2020, you had moved to the UK; and
  • Under the EU Settlement Scheme, you are not qualified for Settled Status because you have not lived in the EU continuously for at least 5 years.
  • You must show UK Visas & Immigration that the following is true in order to be eligible for Pre-Settled Status as a new family member:
  • You are a member of an appropriate sponsor’s family who is joining; or
  • Additionally, your relationship with an appropriate sponsor has given you the right to stay in the country as a family member; and
  • Under the EU Settlement Scheme, you are not qualified for Settled Status because you have not lived in the EU continuously for at least 5 years.

Furthermore, it is important to think about whether an application for an EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit should be made first if the family member who is joining lives outside of the EU.

There are different requirements that you may need to meet based on your situation. You might want to get professional help from our expert immigration solicitors.
