According to the latest statistics released by the Home Office, over 1.5 million EU citizens and their families have been granted \u2018status\u2019 under the EU Settlement Scheme. EU nationals who have 5 years\u2019 continuous residence in the UK will usually obtain \u2018Settled Status\u2019 whilst those who have continuously resided in the UK for less than 5 years in the UK will normally receive \u2018Pre-Settled\u2019 status. This allows EU\/EEA\/Swiss nationals and their family members to have the same rights they currently have under free movement. Please note that Irish nationals are exempt from having to apply to the EUSS due to the Common Travel Area Agreement.<\/p>\n
What will employers need to do post-Brexit?<\/strong><\/p>\n Once the free movement under the EU law comes to an end, EU citizens who move to the UK for the first time will need to apply for an European Temporary Leave to Remain (Euro TLR). It is free to apply for the Euro TLR and it will be granted for a 36-month period. Once the three-year visa expires, migrants who would like to continue staying in the UK must meet the requirements of the new immigration system which will apply as of January 2021.<\/p>\n UK employers should review EU\/EEA\/Swiss citizens\u2019 workforce as well as consider the skills that they need to sustain their operations. Employers might be asked to check their EU employees\u2019 \u2018right to work\u2019 by using the online right to work service.
