After arduous negotiations and deadlock, the UK currently plans to leave the EU on December 31, 2020. After Brexit, will EU citizens be able to continue staying in the UK?
Regarding this issue, according to the official UK government website, citizens of EU member states who apply for settled or pre-settled status in the UK before June 30, 2021, will be able to continue living in the UK after December 31, 2020. This means that the final deadline for EU citizens to apply to move to the UK is June 30, 2021.
The application system for EU citizens to settle in the UK, provided by the UK Visas and Immigration office, opened at the end of March this year. UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid recently stated that more than 750,000 EU citizens have already applied to remain in the UK, catching the last train to relocate to the country.
As a major WorldWay entity, economic powerhouse, and financial center, the UK is the world's sixth-largest economy and one of the wealthiest, most economically developed, and highest-standard-of-living countries in the world. At the same time, the UK is also home to some of the world's best education systems and has always been a sought-after immigration destination for many. However, immigrating to the UK is not easy. In March of this year, the UK Tier 1 Investor Visa program underwent direct policy changes, not only raising the application threshold but also extending the required duration for holding investment funds and imposing stricter requirements on the explanation of the source of funds. All of this means that the path to immigrating to the UK is becoming increasingly narrow.
For those who wish to move to the UK, obtaining an EU citizenship quickly before June 30, 2021, can be considered a golden springboard for indirect immigration to the UK.
As a member of the European Union, Cyprus allows its citizens to easily relocate to the United Kingdom. Through the Cyprus Investment Programme, with a donation of €150,000 and a minimum real estate investment of €2 million, three generations of a family can quickly obtain a Cypriot EU passport and easily apply for residency in the UK.
Holders of a Cypriot EU passport can freely move, work, and reside in any of the 28 EU member states (including the UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Finland, etc.), as well as the 3 European Economic Area member states (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and Switzerland—a total of 32 European countries. They can also enjoy the generous benefits afforded to EU citizens within the Union; 1=32! At the same time, a Cypriot EU passport offers visa-free access to over 150 countries and regions worldwide, and under certain conditions, it can facilitate indirect immigration to many other European countries.
