If you're living outside the UK with a British citizen

You can no longer apply for an EU Settlement Scheme family permit if you’re a family member of a British citizen who you lived with in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein. This was known as a ‘Surinder Singh’ application’.

You may be able to apply for a family visa.

If you applied before 9 August 2023, you will get a decision on your application as soon as possible. If your application is successful, you’ll get an EU Settlement Scheme family permit.
