Brexit guidance

The UK left the European Union on January 31, 2020. The UK government and the EU have now agreed a deal on their future relationship. From 1 January 2021, there will be changes that affect us all – from the way we do business to the way we travel.

If you’re an EU citizen you and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. The EU Settlement Scheme's 30 June 2021 deadline has now passed, however there are some circumstances where you can still apply after 30 June 2021. Please check the gov.uk webpage for details. You must have started living in the UK by 31 December 2020.

More information on all Brexit-related matters is available on the Welsh Government website.
