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. In this post, we cover different scenarios depending on nationality, immigration status and whether you have a Certificate of Application (COA) or have applied to the EU Settlement Scheme or not.
Switching from pre-settled to settled status
If you were granted pre-settled status, also known as limited leave to remain, after applying to the EU Settlement Scheme, you will need to apply for settled status (indefinite leave to remain) before your pre-settled expires.
Immigration information for UE and Non-EU nationals experiencing Domestic Abuse
Are you an EU or non-EU national in an abusive relationship whose immigration status depends on an EU/EEA/Swiss partner with settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)? If you are thinking about leaving your partner (or have already left them) because of domestic violence or abuse, and you are worried about your immigration status in the UK, you should seek legal advice from a solicitor or an OISC adviser and collect as much evidence as possible.
Todavía puede solicitar el estatus de asentado o preasentado
Las personas que tengan derecho a solicitar la inclusión en el sistema de registro de ciudadanos de la UE (EU Settlement Scheme) todavía pueden solicitar el estatus de asentado (settled status) o preasentado (pre-settled status) aunque ya haya pasado el 30 de junio de 2021. Sin embargo, la aceptación de las solicitudes presentadas fuera de plazo es discrecional, por lo que los solicitantes deben explicar y demostrar por qué no pudieron enviar su solicitud en el plazo indicado. La persona encargada de su caso en el Home Office (Ministerio del Interior) evaluará si la solicitud entra dentro de una de las categorías de motivos razonables para la presentación fuera de plazo y decidirá si esta se acepta o se deniega.
