End of EU Settlement Scheme – need a Sponsor Licence?

The deadline for EU (including EEA and Swiss citizens) to apply to continue living in the UK is fast approaching, with the EU Settlement Scheme set to close in less than two weeks’ time on 30 June 2021. UK employers should be working with their EU staff to ensure their registration to the Scheme by this date.

If an employee intends to apply under the Scheme but has not yet done so, employers should encourage them to do so without delay, and offer any necessary support with completing their application.
