The deadline for applications for the EU Citizens' Resettlement Scheme in Britain (Pre- Settlement) expired on 30 June 2021, with the exception of some very specific groups of people who have the supporting documents, the Cyprus Association of Educational Counsellors (CECC) said in a statement.
In a statement, in response to the many calls it has received over the past four weeks from students and parents interested in travelling to the UK for a short visit in order to apply for the EU Settlement scheme, in the hope of gaining pre-settled status, the CSCE makes it clear to all interested parties that the deadline for applications for the EU Settlement Scheme for EU citizens in Britain has now passed with the exception of some very specific groups of people who hold the supporting documents.
Therefore, for the vast majority of students and their parents who do not meet all the criteria set by the British government for application, there is no reason for them to travel to the country in order to secure pre-settled status, it adds.
The CSCE informs that the EU Settlement Scheme was created to register EU citizens who wish to continue to reside in Britain after December 31, 2020, in order to continue to enjoy certain benefits after the country leaves the EU. "The benefits they are believed to gain by adopting the above plan are the right to the low tuition fees of British Universities, as well as the British Student Loan," it adds.
The CSCA says it is monitoring the issue and will keep the public informed of any developments.
