Travelling outside the UK after Brexit for people with pre-settled or settled status or eligible to apply
Border rules for EU/EEA/Swiss nationals and their family members entering the UK have changed as a result of Brexit.

Кандидатстване по Схемата за уседналост на граждани на ЕС (EUSS) след крайния срок 30 юни
Тези, които отговарят на условията за кандидатстване по Схемата на ЕС за уседналост, все още могат да кандидатстват за постоянен статут на уседналост или временен статут на уседналост дори след крайния срок 30 юни 2021 г. Тези, които са закъснели да кандидатстват обаче, са по преценка. Това означава, че кандидатите трябва да обяснят и докажат защо не са успели да кандидатстват преди крайния срок. В резултат на това, служителят на Министерство на вътрешните работи (Home Office) ще прецени дали кандидата попада в една от категориите за основателни причини за подаване на късно заявление и ще реши дали да приеме това заявление или не.
