The EU Settlement Scheme closes on Wednesday 30^th June.

Scottish Government has relaunched their “Stay in Scotland” campaign, encouraging EU, EEA and Swiss citizens to apply so they can carry on living, working, and studying in Scotland. The campaign will run on radio, digital, social and press in the coming weeks.

Children are not automatically covered by their parents’ settled status, and must be applied for separately. The Home Office now requires evidence that applying children were resident in the UK prior to the end of the Brexit transition period, on Thursday 31^st December 2020.

A range of resources and information are also available for people applying to the EU Settlement Scheme, and those supporting them, including:
