Border rules for EU/EEA/Swiss nationals and their family members entering the UK have changed as a result of Brexit.

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.
