Leaving the EU means a number of changes that will affect businesses and individual citizens.

• How to prepare and the steps you may need to take

EU Settlement Scheme for EU citizens in the UK

The UK government has reached an agreement with the EU that will protect the rights of EU citizens and their family members living in the UK. It has also reached an agreement with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and a separate agreement with Switzerland. 

These agreements mean that most citizens from the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland will need to apply to stay in the UK. They can then continue living their lives here as they do now. 

Further information and applications to the EU Settlement Scheme can be found via the GOV.UK site.
