Brexit and Information for EU nationals

How are European nationals affected by the new UK Immigration system?

The new system will apply equally to any European and non-European nationals who require a visa to work in the UK from 1 January 2021. Whether you require a visa as an EU nationals depends on when you started living in the UK.

European nationals already in the UK by 31 December 2020 will not need to apply for a UK visa to work but should apply instead for settled/pre-settled status through the EU Settlement Scheme before the deadline of 30 June 2021 if they have not already done so.

European nationals arriving in the UK from 1 January 2021, most (except Irish nationals) will need to obtain a visa in advance of arriving to be able to come to work in the UK. Find out more about visa options here.
