Are you at risk of EU Settled Status Changes on 31 June 2021?

EU citizens: Protect your rights by applying to the EU Settlement Scheme

We are writing to you in relation to your EU citizenship and the work that Westray Recruitment provides you with.

As I’m sure you are aware, if you are an EU citizen, you and your family members need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021.

The EU Settlement Scheme allows you and your family to get the immigration status you need to:

• continue to live, work and study in the UK
• access public services like the NHS

The deadline to apply is 30 June 2021.

We do not require proof that you have applied but getting status through the scheme will protect your future rights, so it is very important that you apply.

How to apply

It is free to apply to the scheme and you can apply now by following this link: https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families. You need to complete a short online application form using a computer, tablet or mobile phone. The application will ask you to:

• prove your identity
• prove that you live in the UK
• declare any criminal convictions

Successful applicants will receive settled status or pre-settled status, depending on how long you have lived in the UK. You will get digital proof of your status through an online service.

We will also need to obtain digital proof of your EU settlement status after 30 June 2021 in order to continue to provide you with work after that date. We will contact you at a later date to obtain the digital proof of status that we will need.

We would encourage you to make your application as soon as possible to ensure you have sufficient time to follow the process.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
