Retained the Right of Residence

You may qualify to remain in the UK under retained rights if you were previously the family member of an EEA, EU, or Swiss citizen who had the right to reside in the UK. This includes situations such as:

Death of the EEA National

You may retain your right of residence if:

  • The EEA national passed away while living in the UK.

  • You had lived in the UK as a family member of the EEA national for at least one year before their death.

  • The EEA national was a qualified person (e.g., worker, self-employed, student, etc.) at the time of death.

Divorce or Dissolution of Civil Partnership

You may continue residing in the UK if:

  • Your marriage or civil partnership with the EEA national lasted at least three years and you both lived in the UK for at least one year during that time.

  • The EEA national was exercising treaty rights at the time the divorce proceedings began.

  • You are a worker, self-employed, or self-sufficient, or you hold comprehensive sickness insurance.

  • Alternatively, you or a family member were granted custody of a child or the right to access a child of the EEA national.

EEA National Leaves the UK

You may retain the right to stay if:

  • You are the primary carer of a child of the EEA national, and the child is still in education in the UK.

  • The EEA national has left the UK, but the child needs the non-EEA parent to stay in order to complete their education.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for Retained Right of Residence under the EU Settlement Scheme:

  • You must have been living in the UK before 31 December 2020.

  • Your relationship with the EEA national must have started before that date.

  • You must no longer be in the relationship due to one of the qualifying circumstances (death, divorce, departure, etc.).

  • You must provide evidence of your former relationship and proof that the EEA national was exercising treaty rights (or held settled/pre-settled status).

  • In most cases, you must demonstrate that you have become self-sufficient, employed, or self-employed, unless you're caring for a child.
