This status will enable the holder to stay in the UK as long as they like. Holders can also spend up to 5 years in a row outside of the UK without losing their status.
Once they have held Settled status for a period of 12 months, the holder can choose to apply for British citizenship, if eligible.
Pre-settled status will be granted to individuals who can evidence that they have been continuously resident in the UK for a period less than 5 years.

Individuals with either Settled or Pre-Settled status will continue to be able to live, work, use the NHS, enroll in education, and access public funds (if eligible).
