Jūs vis dar galite pateikti prašymus nuolatinio ar nenuolatinio gyventojo statusui gauti
Net ir po 2020 metų birželio 30 dienos, ES piliečiai, atitinkantys ES apgyvendinimo programos sąlygas, vis dar gali teikti prašymus nuolatinio ar nenuolatinio gyventojo statusui gauti. Teikiant pavėluotą prašymą, teikėjas privalo paaiškinti ir pateikti dokumentus, įrodančius pavėluoto pateikimo priežastį. Gavus pavėluotą prašymą, JK Vidaus reikalų ministerija (angl. Home Office) įvertins ar teikėjas atitinka nors vieną kategoriją iš pavėluoto prašymo teikimo priežasčių sąrašo, ir nuspręs ar prašymas bus priimtas.
