MP reminds EU citizens to apply for settled status as deadline looms
Banff and Buchan MP David Duguid has urged eligible EU citizens who have not already done so, to apply for EU settled status before tomorrow’s deadline of 30 June.
All EU citizens, resident in the UK before December 31, 2020 are encouraged to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme that was launched in March 2019.
There will be consideration given for late applications in certain reasonable circumstances.
Scottish Conservative MP for Banff and Buchan David Duguid said:
“I want EU citizens who have made the UK their home to be able to continue living and working here.
“The EU Settlement scheme has been hugely successful since its launch in March 2019.
“I have been concerned at reports that some may not have applied yet and so have been promoting the scheme heavily on my social media channels.
“The deadline for applications is tomorrow, so it is really important that eligible EU citizens that have not already done so, apply for the settled status they deserve.
“Applications are normally quick and easy and rights will be protected pending a decision for all applicants who apply by the deadline - even if that decision comes later.”
