<p>The UK government has been clear that in any scenario, including no deal, EU citizens
and their family members living here by exit day will be able to stay. EU citizens
resident in the UK by exit day are able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to secure
their status. The scheme fully opened on 30 March and so far over 800,000 applicants
have applied. Applications to the scheme are free.</p><p>Following extensive engagement
by the Government, we are pleased that all Member States have now made commitments
to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU and have guaranteed that UK nationals
legally resident by exit day will be able to stay. We continue to encourage Member
States to fully reciprocate our offer and communicate plans as soon as possible.</p><p>The
EU Commission have published details of each Member State’s unilateral measures on
<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/brexit/brexit-preparedness/citizens-rights_en"

Furthermore, UK nationals can find details of each system on the FCO “living in guides”
on gov.uk.</p>
