EU, EEA and Swiss Nationals

From 1 January 2021, if you are an EU, EEA or Swiss national, due to the UK leaving the EU, you will need to apply for settled or pre-settled status, as well as meeting other criteria to access social housing. 

The deadline to apply for settled or pre-settled status is 30 June 2021.  Most people can apply online at gov.uk/eu-settled-status. If you need to apply, GOV.UK has prepared a guide to help you understand what you'll need to do if you decide to stay in the UK. This is also available in 26 European languages.To find out what you need to do and when, use the online tool on GOV.UK.                                                          

There is also help available from the Citizen Advice Bureau. You can visit their website for more information:https://www.citizensadvicesouthlincs.org.uk/eu-settlement-scheme/
