Late and pending applications

Family members who have not yet applied

If you have any family members who are not British or Irish citizens, or do not hold another form of UK immigration status and were resident in the UK by 31 December 2020 and have not yet applied to the EUSS, they should do so urgently.

This includes any family members who are not EU, EEA or Swiss citizens and also those who hold an EEA Biometric Residence Card (BRC), even if the BRC has an expiry date after 30 June 2021.

Joining family members

If you have family members who wish to join you in the UK on the basis of your settled or pre-settled status under EUSS then there is no deadline for them coming to join you.

They can join you at any point, although they must make a EUSS application within 90 days of their arrival in the UK.

Late and pending applications

Anyone making a valid application to the EUSS from 1 July 2021 will secure their rights while their application is considered, including the right to healthcare, and the right to work or (in England) to rent property.

If you know any EU, EEA, or Swiss citizen (or their family member) who was resident in the UK by 31 December 2020 and who has not made an application, they should do so as soon as possible.
