The Government’s policy paper (Cm 9464), sets out that EU citizens, including children and young people, who arrive in the UK before the specified date and have five years’ continuous residence, will be able to apply for UK settled status. EU citizens who arrive before the specified date, but do not yet have five years’ continuous residence, will be able to make an application to stay until they have built up the necessary five continuous years’ residence to be able to apply for UK settled status.
