<p>We are currently working hard on a number of enhancements to the EU Settlement
Scheme including the functionality to support individuals who currently hold pre-settled
status to apply for settled status once they become eligible. The process we are developing
will allow applicants to apply either through the app or the website. We are working
on this as a matter of absolute priority and expect this feature to go live in the
next six weeks once we have thoroughly tested the technical functionality.</p><p>In
the meantime, the rights and status of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens living in the UK
will remain the same until 30 June 2021, if the UK leaves the EU with a deal. Those
who have been granted pre-settled status can continue to demonstrate their right to
reside at any time. Status is linked to the passport or biometric residence card that
was used to apply to the scheme and online status can be viewed using the online service
