The UK government has officially confirmed that it will withdraw from the European Union at midnight on March 29, 2019. On November 25, leaders of the 27 EU member states, excluding the UK, also formally approved the draft Brexit agreement reached with the UK at a special EU summit.
As news regarding the progress of Brexit continues to emerge, the various "butterfly effects" it brings are also following in succession. For those investors who intend to apply for an EU passport or EU citizens who have already obtained an EU passport and are residing in the UK, there is significant concern: once the UK leaves the EU, will they still be able to enjoy the benefits and treatment of EU citizens in the UK as they have in the past? Once Brexit is successfully completed, will EU passport holders residing in the UK be forced to leave?
Recently, the UK government issued official information regarding whether EU citizens can continue to stay in the UK after Brexit.
Citizens of EU member states, along with their family members, may apply for settled or pre-settled status in the UK. This means that those who obtain settled or pre-settled status will be able to continue residing in the UK after December 31, 2020.
The following individuals do not need to apply:
1. Irish citizens
2. Individuals who have obtained Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK
3. Individuals who have obtained Indefinite Leave to Enter the UK
4. Family members of applicants who are not citizens of the UK or Ireland must apply.
Rights for citizens of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland are currently under negotiation.
Application Period
The EU Settlement Scheme will be fully implemented on March 30, 2019. The application deadline is June 30, 2021. If an applicant has family members who have already obtained settled or pre-settled status in the UK, their own application is not subject to this deadline.
Application Fees
Applicants aged 16 and over: £65
Applicants under 16: £32.50
The following cases are eligible for free application:
1. Applicants who have already obtained Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK and wish to change the nature of their residency status
2. Applicants holding a valid Permanent Residence document
3. Changing from pre-settled status to settled status starting from April 2019
4. Children who are already receiving relevant benefits in the UK
Cyprus EU Passport: A Golden Stepping Stone for Indirect Migration to the UK
