The EU Settlement Scheme was introduced to protect the rights of EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens and their families who have made the UK their home. Established as part of the UK’s transition out of the European Union, this scheme ensures that eligible individuals can continue to live, work, study, and access public services in the UK. Through the scheme, applicants are granted either pre-settled or settled status, depending on the length of their continuous residence in the UK. Securing status under this scheme is crucial for those wishing to build a stable future in the UK post-Brexit.
