Over Half A Million Citizens From EU Sent In Applications To Continue Living In United Kingdom

Immigrants in the United Kingdom who are also citizens of European Union member nations are currently thinking about what could happen to them when the exit of the UK from the EU pushes through. There are plenty of these immigrants who have been in the country already for so long. The country also has seen the contributions that these immigrants have brought. However, with the exit, it means that citizens of EU member nations would no longer have preferential treatment when it comes to immigrants in the UK.

One of the plans that would be put into place once the exit happens is to remove any preferential treatment. This means that any immigrants from EU member nations would have to go through the same process as immigrants from any other country in the world. That is why many EU citizens who have already found a home in the UK have already sent in their applications so they continue living and working in the country.

Many EU citizens have sent in applications

In the previous month, over half a million EU citizens who are in the UK as immigrants have sent in their applications so that they can continue with being in the country even after the exit has happened. This is as per official numbers of the UK government. They are applying to continue to work and live in the country. This definitely shows that there are a lot of EU member nation citizens who are in the country and are choosing to remain there, mainly to work there.

The Home Office has received around 590,300 individual applications that have been sent in via the EU Settlement Scheme. This is just for citizens of EU member nations who have chosen to remain in the country. As of the end of October 2019, the country has been able to receive a total of 2.4 million applications from EU citizens. Over 1.9 of the applications that the country has received have already been processed. 60% of which have been given a permanent residency status which is going to be known as settled status once there is no more freedom of movement.

More numbers

As per data from the Home Office, 40% of the applicants have been awarded a status known as pre-settled. With this, they can continue to stay and live and work in the UK. However, they would need to send in a new application to get a settled status. They have to do this after they have lived in the UK for at least five years. That is if they wish to stay in the United Kingdom on a permanent basis.

The biggest number of applications came from those from Poland at 456,600. Citizens of Rome came in 2nd at 388,600 applications, and the Italians were at 3rd at 259,300 total applications.
