Application For Settled Status Under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)Top of Form
Certainly, you are eligible to apply for settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) after completing five years of continuous residence in the UK, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man. This period is typically calculated from the day you initiated your continuous residence, not the day you received pre-settled status. It’s important to note that if, within the 5-year timeframe, you spent more than 6 months outside the UK in any 12-month period, you may not qualify for settled status. Switching from pre-settled status to settled status is a crucial step in securing your long-term residency rights in the UK post-Brexit.
