The Team Settled Status Scheme The British government created this scheme to register all EU citizens. People who have lived in the UK for more than 5 years can apply for Settled Status. People who have not been in the UK for 5 years yet, can apply for Pre Settled Status which can lead to Settled Status. The application is free and the deadline for applying is 31 December 2020. Every EU Citizen should apply for this scheme, unless they already have a British passport, leave to remain or leave to enter the UK in an old passport. The Settled status will give you the right to work in the UK, use the NHS, study and enrol in education, access public funds such as benefits and pensions (if you are eligible for them) and travel in and out of the UK. With Settled Status you can leave the UK for up to 5 years before losing this status. After successful application, the Home Office will email you and provide a link to an online service that you can use to view and prove your status. You will not get a physical document. The German YMCA will offer help if needed for Settled Status applications from September onwards for its members.
