If you are an EU citizen living in the UK, you should obtain either settled or pre-settled status now. Doing so will ensure you are able to live and work here without problems after Brexit.
Pre-settled status
If you can prove that you have been in the UK for at least one day in the last six months, you can apply for pre-settled status. It's a quick process, and will give you the right to live and work in the UK long enough to obtain full settled status, if that is what you want.
- Used airline, train, ferry or ship ticket that shows the date you entered the UK.
- Stamp in your passport showing you entered the UK (relevant for non-EU spouses etc).
- Monthly bank statement showing money you've spent or received in the UK.
- Mobile phone bill in your name with your address in the UK.
- Council tax, water, gas or electricity bill.
- National insurance number.
- Letter or appointment card from your GP, a hospital or other healthcare professional.
If you have a document of this kind, you should be able to apply immediately (even if you only just arrived). Advice on how to do this can be found here.
