<p>The Government’s policy paper (Cm 9464), which was laid before Parliament on 26
June, sets out that obtaining settled status will be subject to meeting certain requirements.
The eligibility criteria will be set out in UK law, and will include a requirement
for the applicant to have been resident in the UK for a set length of time and an
assessment of conduct and criminality, including not being considered a threat to
the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to apply rules to exclude those who are serious
or persistent criminals and those whom we consider a threat to the UK. Those who are
refused settled status, unless they are covered by any of the exemptions that the
Government puts in place or have another basis to remain in the UK, will no longer
have permission to remain in the UK after we leave the EU.</p>
