hELP FOR EU CITIZENS
by Citizen’s Adive Bureau
We at Europe Direct East Midlands (North) would
like to provide information to help people who are
applying to the new scheme designed to register
EU citizens that wish to remain in the UK to live or
work after the UK leaves the European Union.
There are two status; settled (once a person has lived
in the UK for 5 years or more) and pre-settled status
(for those who reside in the UK but have not lived here
for 5 years).
The Government have agreed that EU citizens who
are resident in the UK before we leave the European
Union (scheduled for 31st October) have until
December 2020 to apply for settled or pre-settled
status. The requirements for EU citizens arriving after
the 31st October has yet to be decided.
EU citizens should only seek assistance from
recognised sources of help. All Citizens Advice
offices hold OISC Level 1 accreditation and can help
with standard applications. In Beeston the local
Citizens Advice run a Walk-in Centre on behalf of
Europe Direct East Midlands (North).
Digital assistance is available for those that require
help and are vulnerable as defined by the Home
Office. There are a number of agencies contracted
by the Home Office to assist vulnerable EU citizens
in person with their applications to the EUSS.
These include some Citizens Advice services, law
centres and other immigration advice centres. The
Home Office have published a list of contracted
organisations along with details of the various forms
of assistance.
If in doubt call the Europe Direct East Midlands
(North) helpline first on 01773 532291.
