EU SETTLEMENT SCHEME

Following the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU), all citizens from the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland must apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. This will protect their rights to have access to:

• Public services, such as healthcare and schools;

• Public funds and pensions;

• British citizenship, if they meet the requirements and want to apply.

Birmingham City Council encourages all EU citizens in Birmingham to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme before the deadline of 30 June 2021.
