<p>As set out in the Government’s policy paper, EU citizens, including those granted
permanent residence status prior to the EU Referendum, will need to apply for settled
status, which will give them the right to reside in the UK.</p><p>Qualifying EU citizens
will be given time to apply for their new residence status after our exit, so they
can be reassured that there will be no cliff-edge at the point of the UK’s withdrawal
from the EU. The UK is ready to offer an even more streamlined process for current
holders of permanent residence.</p><p>As the Prime Minister set out in her speech
in Florence, we are confident that we can find a way forward that makes a success
of this for all of our people, and that we have a responsibility to make this change
work smoothly and sensibly.</p><p> </p>
