Almost 20,000 Richmond residents have already submitted European Union Settlement Scheme (EUSS) applications, the majority of which have been concluded. However, the Council believes that there are still many people who are eligible for the EUSS but who have not yet applied, in particular vulnerable citizens such as older people and eligible non-EEA nationals.

The deadline for applications is 30 June 2021. Those who have not applied by the deadline will lose their legal rights to live, work and access benefits in the UK. 

The Council is urging all residents from EU countries and eligible non-EEA nationals who want to stay in the UK to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme as soon as possible – please don’t leave it until the last minute.

If you know someone who needs help applying or you need to apply yourself, help and information can be found here

If you have any questions or you need support please contact Citizens Advice. They are the commissioned service to offer support in Richmond upon Thames and have dedicated workers who can give help.
