Brexit Immigration Services, Scotland

Brexit has had clear consequences for immigration law, adding extra complexity to an already complex area of law.

Brexit Immigration

You may be experiencing immigration issues due to changes brought in after Brexit, which have significantly altered the immigration system. The impact of Brexit on the European Union has led to new guidelines for EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals, as well as non-EU citizens regarding proving their immigration status. If this is the case, an experienced immigration attorney can help you navigate the new rules.

Immigration solicitors from Jones Whyte have the knowledge and experience to help you with any Brexit-related immigration law issues.

EEA citizens – EU Settlement Scheme options

If you are an EEA citizen living in the UK, there are several options available to ensure that your status isn’t affected by Brexit. EU citizens have specific pathways to secure their residency status. Immigration legal services from Jones Whyte can help you decide which option is right for you. You may want to apply for British citizenship. In this case, you will need a Permanent Residence document, which shows you have lived in the UK for five years as an employee, self-employed person, student, job seeker or self-sufficient person.

Another option is to apply for Settled Status, which is also available after five years of residence and gives you the right to live and work in the UK on a permanent basis. The EU Settlement Scheme provides a framework for this process.

If you have not yet lived in the UK for five years, you can apply for pre-settled status. This can be upgraded to settled status once you reach five years. Family members of EU citizens can also apply under specific conditions.
