The UK immigration system was subject to substantial reform following Brexit, the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union on 31 January 2020.
Among the most significant changes were those related to the rights and status of EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens in the UK.
Post-Brexit, and following the end of EU/UK free movement, the UK now offers specific immigration routes and schemes for EU, EEA, and Swiss Citizens seeking to enter or continue residing in the UK, whether for work, family, or other reasons. These include:
a. EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit: For non-UK family members of certain European nationals, including EU, EEA and Swiss citizens, to come to the UK.
b. S2 Healthcare Visitor route: For EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals seeking pre-arranged medical treatment in the UK, covered by their home health insurance.
c. EU Settlement Scheme (Settled and Pre-Settled Status): Allows EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens in the UK before 31 December 2020 to apply for settled or pre-settled residency status.
d. Right to Reside: Legal status for qualifying EU, EEA, Swiss citizens, and family members, allowing them to live and access benefits in the UK.
e. Frontier Worker Permit: For EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals who work in the UK but reside in another country.
f. Share Codes to Prove Lawful Status: A digital code EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens use to prove their UK immigration status online to employers or services.
g: Long Residence: In certain circumstances, EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens with 10 continuous, lawful years of residence may opt to formalise their UK status with an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
This restructuring had significant implications for EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals, affecting everything from residency and work rights to access to healthcare and social services, underscoring the importance of staying informed and being proactive in securing the necessary legal immigration and residency status in post-Brexit UK.
As immigration policies continue to evolve, staying informed about your rights and the relevant procedures is more important than ever.
This guide will set out each of these immigration options for EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals, providing clarity and direction on the steps to take to secure your status to come to or reside in the UK.
Section A: Overview of UK Immigration for EU, EEA, and Swiss Citizens
Brexit marked a pivotal shift in the UK’s approach to immigration and the free movement of EU, EEA, and Swiss Citizens.
1. Who is Considered EU, EEA, and Swiss Citizens in the Context of UK Immigration?
In the context of the UK’s post-Brexit immigration routes, the following definitions apply:
a. EU Citizens: Individuals holding nationality in one of the European Union member countries.
b. EEA Citizens: Includes EU citizens and also individuals from Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, which are countries part of the European Economic Area but not EU members.
c. Swiss Citizens: Specifically refers to nationals of Switzerland, which, while not a member of either the EU or the EEA, has agreements in place that previously allowed for rights similar to those of EU/EEA nationals in the context of mobility and residency.
2. Changes in UK Immigration Post-Brexit: Impact on EU, EEA, and Swiss Nationals
The conclusion of the Brexit transition at the end of 2020 marked a significant shift in the United Kingdom’s immigration policies, particularly affecting the rights and statuses of EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals.
Prior to Brexit, these citizens enjoyed the right to live, work, study and move freely across the UK under the EU’s principle of free movement without requiring any special permits or visas.
However, the UK’s exit from the European Union necessitated a reevaluation of residency and work rights for these groups.
Post-Brexit, the UK’s immigration system is now structured around specific routes for EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals based on whether they are already residing in the UK or are planning to enter the UK.
These pathways sought to meet the government’s aim to control immigration while still honouring the rights of those who had established lives in the UK before Brexit.
3. Implications of the New System
The new immigration system imposes stricter requirements and necessitates that EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens navigate a more complex application process to secure their rights in the UK.
While the system aims to protect those already integrated into British society, it represents a departure from the principle of free movement, requiring individuals to select the correct route and demonstrate their eligibility under new legal frameworks.
Section B: Immigration Routes for Those Coming to the UK
Under the UK’s post-Brexit immigration system, the following routes are available for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens to come to the UK:
a. EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit: For family members of EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens who wish to join their family in the UK, this permit is a gateway to later applying for pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme.
b. S2 Healthcare Visitor Route: This allows individuals to enter the UK for specific medical treatment under arrangements covered by their home country, reflecting the continued cooperation between the UK and EU member states on healthcare provision.
c. Alternative UK Visas: EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens who are not eligible under the specific routes and schemes may consider applying for an appropriate UK visa under the UK’s immigration system, such as a work or family visa.
1. Applying for an EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit
The EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit allows non-UK family members of someone from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, or the family member of an eligible person of Northern Ireland, to come to the UK.
By successfully obtaining this permit, family members can enter the UK and stay for up to 6 months. It allows you to work and study, and you can re-enter the UK as many times as you wish while your permit is valid. There is no fee to apply for the family permit.
To stay in the UK longer, you should look at the EU Settlement Scheme, which we have detailed below.
a. Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit as a family member of someone from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, the following must apply:
1. You are an eligible, close family member of someone from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein.
2. Your familial relationship was established by 31 December 2020.
3. Your family member was residing in the UK as of 31 December 2020.
4. Your family member will either be in the UK at the time of your application or will accompany you to the UK within six months of your application.
Children who were born or adopted after 31 December 2020 may also be eligible if certain criteria are met.
You can join a family member in the UK if they are from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein. This includes individuals exempt from immigration control, frontier workers, and British citizens with dual citizenship under specific conditions (known as ‘McCarthy’ and ‘Lounes’ cases). They must have either settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme or have an application pending. Eligibility extends to those who settled in the UK before 16 July 2012 without free movement rights or were engaged in work, self-employment, study, or self-sufficiency before obtaining British citizenship.
b. Application Process and Required Documents
The specific process will depend on the basis of your eligibility, but in general, applicants must complete the relevant application form available online on the UK Government’s official website. You will need to provide various documents to support your application, including proof of identity (such as a passport), evidence of the relationship with the EU, EEA, or Swiss citizen (like marriage certificates, birth certificates, evidence of cohabitation), and proof of the sponsor’s status in the UK (such as your settled status).
As part of the application, biometric information (fingerprints and a photo) will be required. This can be done at a visa application centre.
The decision time can vary, but applicants are generally advised of the outcome within 12 weeks from the date of the application.
This overview provides a detailed look at the EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit, covering essential aspects like its purpose, eligibility, and the application process, which are vital for those looking to move to the UK under this immigration route.
2. Entering the UK as an S2 Healthcare Visitor
The S2 Healthcare Visitor route allows individuals from the EU, EEA, and Switzerland to enter the UK for the purpose of receiving medical treatment. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will not need to apply for a visa as an S2 Healthcare Visitor and will be automatically granted permission to enter the UK for six months on each arrival although you may need to provide evidence at the border for your reason for travel.
This route is part of the arrangements under the European Health Insurance scheme, which allows patients to receive state-provided healthcare in another member state funded by their home country.
a. Eligibility Criteria
The S2 route applies different criteria to patients, children, and people who are accompanying or joining a patient.
As a patient, you must have secured authorisation for planned healthcare under the S2 arrangement by 31 December 2020 and possess an S2 certificate confirming your approved treatment plan in the UK.
Accompanying individuals providing care must apply for an S2 Healthcare Visitor visa, reside in the EEA or Switzerland, and travel with a patient receiving S2-authorised treatment.
Children under 18 must arrange travel, have parental consent, and ensure financial support without relying on public funds.
1. Residency and Insurance: Applicants must be insured in an EU, EEA member state, or Switzerland and not have moved to the UK after the end of the Brexit transition period.
2. Pre-Arranged Treatment: The healthcare that the applicant intends to receive in the UK must be pre-arranged. It can either be healthcare that cannot be provided in their home country within a time limit that is medically justifiable or healthcare that can be better provided in the UK.
3. Approval from Home Country: The applicant must obtain prior authorisation from their national health insurance provider, which agrees to cover the costs of the specific treatment.
b. Application Process and Required Documents
The application process for entering the UK as an S2 Healthcare Visitor involves several steps:
1. Prior Authorisation: Before travelling to the UK, the applicant must obtain an S2 form (formerly known as an E112 form), which is an authorisation from their home country’s health insurance scheme to cover the treatment costs.
2. Applying for a Visa: Depending on the applicant’s nationality and the expected length of stay, a visa may be required. This should be applied for in the usual way via the UK visa and immigration services, where the S2 form will be part of the supporting documents.
3. Documents Needed: Required documentation will depend on whether you are a patient child or are accompanying or joining the patient. Patients will typically need to provide the S2 form, a valid passport or national identity card, proof of residence in the home country, and detailed medical documentation regarding the treatment plan approved by the health insurance provider, while the non-patient will need to provide evidence such as like the patient’s S2 certificate, their valid visa or permission to stay, and a copy of their passport’s bio-data page. Additionally, prove your EEA or Swiss residency, financial self-sufficiency, and a valid travel document.
For EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens who do not qualify for the EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit or the S2 Healthcare Visitor route, there are several other avenues available to come to the UK for purposes such as work, study, visit, or family reunion. These options cater to a diverse range of needs, reflecting the UK’s commitment to maintaining robust links with European nations even post-Brexit.
1. Work Visas
Those looking to work in the UK can explore various visa categories, such as the Skilled Worker visa, which requires having a job offer from a UK employer in a skilled role and meeting the salary threshold. There are also visas for individuals with unique talents or who are leaders in their field, like the Global Talent visa.

2. Study Visas
Students from the EU, EEA, and Switzerland planning to undertake studies in the UK need to apply for a Student visa. This requires acceptance from a licensed student sponsor, sufficient English language skills, and proof of financial support for the duration of the study.

3. Family Visas
For those wishing to join family members who are not covered under the EU Settlement Scheme, various family visas are available. These include visas for spouses, fiancés, and dependent children or parents. Each category has specific eligibility criteria and requires proof of the relationship and financial independence.

4. Ukrainian Refugees
Ukrainian nationals may apply for the EU Settlement Scheme family permit if eligible, or alternatively, the UK operates a number of dedicated immigration schemes and routes for those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.
The Ukraine Family Scheme visa closed on 19 February 2024.
If you already have a Ukraine Family Scheme visa, you may be able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme if eligible.

Section C: Routes for Those Already Living in the UK
EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can consider the following options to secure their legal status and rights in post-Brexit Britain:
a. EU Settlement Scheme
This scheme is crucial for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens who were residing in the UK before 31 December 2020. It allows them to apply for either settled or pre-settled status, granting them rights to continue living and working in the UK. Settled status is given to those who have lived in the UK for a continuous five-year period, whereas pre-settled status is available to those who have not yet reached this threshold.
b. Right to Reside
Depending on certain conditions, such as employment status, self-sufficiency, or study commitments, individuals may qualify for the right to reside. This status is essential for accessing social benefits and public services.
c. Frontier Worker Permit
For EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens who work in the UK but live elsewhere, the Frontier Worker Permit ensures they can continue their employment in the UK without requiring residence.
d. Share Code to Prove Lawful Status
Share codes were introduced to be used by EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens already in the UK to prove their immigration status online, for example, to employers or services.
e. Long Residence
Where the EUSS is not available, EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens with at least 10 continuous, lawful years of residence may opt to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) under the Long Residence route.
1. Apply to the EU Settlement Scheme
The EU Settlement Scheme was established to protect the residency rights of EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens and their family members residing in the UK post-Brexit. The scheme allows these individuals to continue living, working, and studying in the UK after 30 June 2021, which marked the end of the transition period following the UK’s departure from the EU.
The deadline to apply under the scheme for most people was 30 June 2021, although this does not apply to those transferring from pre-settled to full settled status, and some limited exceptions may also apply.
Settled Status grants those who have lived in the UK for a continuous 5-year period (“continuous residence”). It gives them the right to stay indefinitely, access public funds, work and study, and apply for British citizenship if they meet other eligibility requirements.
Pre-Settled Status was granted to those who had not yet lived in the UK for 5 years continuously. This status allows them to stay for another 5 years, during which they can apply for settled status once they meet the residency requirement.
Both statuses allow individuals to continue living in the UK post-Brexit, maintaining access to healthcare, education, public services, and the labour market. These rights help ensure a stable and secure living condition for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens in the UK.
a. Eligibility Criteria
While the EU Settlement Scheme has closed for most people, there are some exceptions. If you or a family member are from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you can still apply if you or a family member were living in the UK by 31 December 2020, but you must meet the criteria for an extended deadline or have ‘reasonable grounds’ for applying after the initial deadline has passed.
If you already have pre-settled status under the scheme, the deadline does not apply to you when applying for settled status.
b. Application Process and Required Documents
The EUSS uses a digital application process, including a mobile app, to verify identity and residency. Applicants are required to provide proof of identity (such as a passport or national ID card) and evidence of their residence in the UK. Supporting documents could include utility bills, school letters, employment records, or any official document that shows UK residence.
2. Right to Reside
The Right to Reside is a legal status that allows individuals to live lawfully in the UK. It is particularly significant for EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals, as well as their family members, in determining their eligibility for various benefits and services post-Brexit.
Having the Right to Reside can be tied to several factors, including employment, self-employment, or being self-sufficient, and it is a prerequisite for claiming certain benefits and accessing social housing and homelessness assistance.
The Right to Reside ensures that individuals can make the UK their home legally and securely, with access to a range of public services that help facilitate a stable living environment.
a. Criteria
Several categories of people are entitled to the Right to Reside in the UK, including:
1. Workers or Self-employed Persons: EU, EEA, or Swiss citizens who are employed or self-employed in the UK automatically have the Right to Reside.
2. Jobseekers: Those actively seeking employment and having a genuine chance of being employed.
3. Self-sufficient Persons: Individuals who can prove they have sufficient resources not to become a burden on the UK’s social assistance system and hold comprehensive sickness insurance.
4. Students: EU, EEA, or Swiss nationals enrolled in a UK educational institution, provided they have comprehensive sickness insurance and assure they are self-sufficient.
5. Family Members: Dependents or family members of individuals who have the Right to Reside under any of the above categories.
6. Permanent Right of Residence: Obtained by those who have lived in the UK for a continuous period of five years under one of the qualifying categories.
b. Proving Right to Reside
EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals living in the UK no longer prove their right to reside with physical documents like residence cards. The process has transitioned to a digital system.
If you were granted settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you can use the ‘View and Prove’ service on GOV.UK to generate a share code. This code allows employers, landlords, or local councils to verify your immigration status online.
3. Frontier Worker Permit
The Frontier Worker Permit was introduced to protect the rights of individuals who were already engaged in cross-border work before the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020.
It was specifically designed for employed or self-employed cross-border workers, ensuring they can maintain their employment ties with the UK while residing in the EU, EEA, or Switzerland.
The primary purpose of this permit is to ensure that these workers can continue to enter and work in the UK while living elsewhere in the EU, EEA, or Switzerland.
Critically, the permit facilitates easier entry and exit at the UK border for work purposes and allows the holder to continue working in the UK without requiring a visa for each entry. They can also access the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) while they are in the UK.
The permit is usually valid for 5 years for workers and 2 years for the self-employed and can be renewed as long as the holder continues to meet the eligibility criteria.
There is no fee for applying for a Frontier Worker Permit.
a. Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for a Frontier Worker Permit, applicants must have started working in the UK while residing elsewhere before 31 December 2020.
If you were not working in the UK before 1 January 2021, you will need to apply for a visa to work here.
Applicants must not primarily reside in the UK (in the UK less than 180 days in any 12-month period) and must maintain their primary residence in another EU, EEA country, or Switzerland.
They also need to demonstrate that they have worked in the UK at least once every 12 months since their employment began.
b. Application Process and Required Documents
Applicants must fill out an application form available on the UK Government’s official immigration website.
Proof of employment or self-employment in the UK, such as employment contracts, pay slips, or business registration documents, must be provided. Applicants also need to demonstrate their residence outside the UK and their travel history to and from the UK.
Applicants may also need to provide biometric information as part of their application.
3. Get a Share Code to Prove Lawful Status
Share codes are a digital means for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens to prove their lawful status in the UK, particularly under the EU Settlement Scheme.
This system was introduced to facilitate verification of residency and work rights without the need for physical documents. Share codes are especially useful to comply with right to work and right to rent requirements.
a. Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to use a share code, individuals must have successfully applied to the EU Settlement Scheme and received either settled or pre-settled status.
Once this status is granted, the individual can access and generate a share code through the UK government’s online service.
b. How to Get a Share Code
The first step is to create or log into your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account. This is the same account used to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme.
Once logged in, follow the prompts to the ‘prove your status’ section where you can choose to get a share code. The system will generate a code that remains valid for a limited time, typically 30 days.
The code can then be shared with whoever needs to verify your immigration status, such as an employer, landlord, or healthcare provider.
The third party will go to the specified government webpage and enter the share code along with the individual’s date of birth to confirm their status. This verification process will confirm the individual’s right to work, rent, and access public services in the UK.
4. Long Residence
EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals who are already in the UK can apply for leave to remain under the Long Residence provisions if they meet certain criteria.
If the application is successful, the individual may be granted Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), allowing them to live and work in the UK without any time restrictions.
Although Brexit has changed the landscape of UK immigration law, the Long Residence route remains open to EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals as it does to other non-UK nationals. However, individuals from these countries should also consider their eligibility under the EU Settlement Scheme while closed in the event an exception may apply, as it might offer a more straightforward or beneficial route depending on their specific circumstances.
a. Eligibility Criteria
Applicants, regardless of their nationality, must have lived in the UK legally for a continuous period of 10 years. “Continuous” means that they must not have been absent from the UK for more than 540 days in total during the 10-year period, and no single absence should have exceeded 180 days at a time.
The residence during these 10 years must have been lawful, meaning that the individual must have had valid leave to enter or remain in the UK throughout the entire period.
b. Application Process and Required Documents
When applying for leave to remain under Long Residence, applicants need to demonstrate their continuous and lawful residence in the UK, including providing evidence of their immigration status during the 10-year period, and proof of any absences from the UK.
Section D: Summary
Post-Brexit, the UK has introduced significant changes to its immigration policies affecting EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens.
Freedom of movement has been replaced with more structured immigration routes, such as the EU Settlement Scheme and specific visas for new entrants.
These changes emphasise the necessity for affected individuals to understand and comply with the new rules to maintain their legal status in the UK.
Compliance is crucial not only for accessing public services and employment but also for long-term residency and citizenship applications.
Adhering to these new regulations ensures that individuals can continue to live, work, and study in the UK without legal repercussions, highlighting the importance of staying informed about ongoing policy shifts and seeking appropriate legal advice when necessary.
