We have set out a fair offer to protect the rights and entitlements of EU nationals living in the UK. Settled status will be offered to those that have been continuously resident in the UK for 5 years. Those that have been here for less will be eligible for temporary leave which allows them to remain in the UK with the same broad set of rights and entitlements as they do now until they can get settled status.<\/p>

Any EU citizen in the UK before the specified date with five years\u2019 continuous residence will be able to apply for UK settled status. Other EU citizens who arrive before the specified date will be able to stay until they have the five years\u2019 residence to apply for UK settled status.<\/p>
Five years\u2019 continuous residence is the period in EU law required, in most cases, for acquiring permanent residence status, and also under UK law for non-EEA nationals acquiring indefinite leave to remain.<\/p>
It is considered across the immigration system to be the period of time when an individual is fully integrated, and has contributed enough to the UK economy and society for restrictions on their immigration status to be lifted and for them to be able to settle here permanently.<\/p>
