Most EU citizens and their family members living in the UK must apply for a new status to remain in the UK after Brexit - this is called settled status.
The application process went live on 29 March 2019. If EU citizens or their family members do not have a legal basis to remain in the UK after 30th June 2021, they will be in the UK unlawfully and face problems with, for example, applying for jobs, accessing the NHS and renting homes.
EU citizens who have Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) do not need to apply for settled status, although they may want to in order to gain Withdrawal Agreement rights (such as family reunion rights, and the ability to leave the UK for 5 years rather than 2 before losing status).
