More than 2m people can live and work in UK permanently after Brexit

EU settlement scheme

More than two million people have been granted the right to carry on living and working in the UK permanently after freedom of movement ends, figures suggest.

EU citizens and their families are asked to apply to the Home Office’s EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) by June next year in order to carry on living and working in the UK when the transition period with the European Union ends after Brexit.
