BREXIT IS AROUND THE CORNER! The UK is scheduled to leave the EU 31st January 2020. The government is ending the priority given to EU migrants over those from other countries. If you’re an EU citizen living in the UK, you and your family will be able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021, or 31 December 2020 if Britain leaves the bloc without a deal. The security minister, Brandon Lewis, has recently declared that EU people who do not apply before the residency deadline may be removed from UK. If your application is successful, you’ll get either settled or pre-settled status. You may refer to the Government website for eligibility criteria.
If you are granted settled status, you will be able to stay in the UK indefinitely (provided you don’t spend more than five consecutive years outside the UK). You may apply for British Citizenship, work in the UK, study in the UK, use the NHS, and access public welfare programmes. Family members may join you with a Family Visa.
On the other hand, many British people are applying for citizenship of an EU country. If your grandparents were born in France, or if you have married an Italian citizen, and you wish to secure your right to work and travel around the EU after Brexit, without restrictions, you may apply to become a citizen of their birth country.
Even though the process varies, depending on your application, you will usually require to translate some documents, such as:
✓ Birth certificate
✓ Marriage certificate
✓ Passport / ID Card
✓ Bank statements
✓ Employment letters
✓ Details of any criminal convictions, if applicable
