EU settlement status – how to claim back settlement application costs

January 23, 2019

To all of our colleagues and family members of the EU, we need you and we welcome you!

On 21 January the Prime Minister announced that there will be no fee when the EU settlement scheme opens fully on 30 March 2019. Anyone who has applied already, or who applies and pays a fee before 30 March, will have their fee refunded by the Home Office. Further information about the application process and how to get your refund is available here https://bit.ly/2trb9PZ

The application fees were £65 if 16 and above or £32.50 for dependants under 16. The deadline for applying for settlement status will be 30 June 2021, or 31 December 2020 if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
