A non-EU citizen who is unable to apply to the scheme from outside the UK because they do not have a valid biometric residence card can apply for an EU Settlement Scheme family permit to travel to the UK and then apply to the scheme in-country.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 16/10/2020 09:02:26 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
