During our monthly Live information session for EU citizens, we covered the ongoing automatic conversion of pre-settled status holders to settled status.
In 2026, many pre-settled status holders will become eligible for settled status after completing their five-year qualifying period for applications made in-time in 2021. As individuals qualify for settled status, it is important to understand who might be converted to settled status automatically by the Home Office and how this happens, as well as who will not be considered for automatic conversion and should therefore make a manual application once they qualify.
In the session an immigration lawyer explained:
- When someone qualifies for settled status
- Who is considered for automatic conversions from pre-settled to settled status and who is not
- Automatic extensions for pre-settled status if you are not automatically converted
- How to apply manually for settled status
In addition, participants asked live questions about the EU settlement scheme.
Information sessions are hosted monthly on Facebook. They cover relevant topics about EU citizens in the UK and the EU settlement scheme. The sessions are delivered by an immigration lawyer allowing viewers to share any relevant questions they may have.
