<p>The EU Settlement Scheme is based on the draft Withdrawal Agreement with the EU,
published on 14 November 2018. As the Withdrawal Agreement is based on residence rights
stemming from existing EU law, it is compliant with the UK’s obligations as set out
in the European Convention on Human Rights, which applies in all EU Member States
and which includes the right to family life.</p><p>Frontier workers who are protected
by Article 24 of the draft Withdrawal Agreement and who wish to continue to frontier
work in the UK may apply to the EU Settlement Scheme should they wish for example,
if they have been or expect to be resident in the UK for sufficient periods to be
eligible for the scheme. Alternatively, they may be subject to a requirement to obtain
a document to evidence their right to enter the UK and work as a frontier worker in
line with Article 26 of the draft Withdrawal Agreement. Further details on this will
be provided in due course.</p>
