An EU national\u2019s right to remain in the UK is not dependent upon a grant of leave to remain from the Secretary of State for the Home Department (SSHD). The Free Movement of Persons Directive (2004/38/EC) allows EU nationals to reside freely in the UK whilst they satisfy the conditions laid down in the Treaty. EU nationals are not granted leave to remain in the UK. The number of EU nationals refused the right to remain between 2010 and 2017 is therefore nil.<\/p>

The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 defines how an EU national can be considered to be a qualified person. A qualified person, is a person considered to satisfy the conditions laid down in the Treaty.<\/p>

EU nationals may apply to the SSHD for confirmation of their status as a qualified person.<\/p>

A Registration Certificate confirms that an EU national has demonstrated that they are currently a qualified person.<\/p>

A Document Certifying Permanent Residence confirms that an EU national has resided in the UK as a qualified person, for a continuous period of 5 years.<\/p>

Statistics on outcomes of applications for Registration Certificates and Documents Certifying Permanent Residence for European Union (EU) nationals are published quarterly in the Immigration Statistics. These include data for certificates/documents issued, refusals and applications deemed invalid and hence rejected. The most recent edition (Immigration Statistics July to September 2017) is available at:<\/p>

The Dublin III Regulation is a long-standing mechanism between EU Member States to determine responsibility for examining asylum claims. It is not an application route for transfer to the UK. At present we do not publish data on cases covered by the Dublin Regulation. Eurostat, the EU\u2019s statistics agency, regularly publishes Member State figures, which can be found at:
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Asylum_quarterly_report. <\/a>

Under the Dublin III Regulation, member states have two months from receiving a request from another participating Member State to accept or reject responsibility for processing the asylum claim.
Once a Dublin request has been accepted, the Regulation provides that the sending Member State has six months to enact the transfer.
