A recent announcement by the Government states it is scrapping the £65 settled status fee for all EU citizens who want to apply for permanent residence post-Brexit. The scrap comes off the back of several campaigns for the Government to pay the fee for public sector employees after several private sector employers publicly announced to pay the fee for their employees.
Further, an app for smart phones has been launched through which applications can upload documents, answer questions and submit photographs, to help modernise and speed up the process. However, despite the fee being scrapped applicants will still face several obstacles and requirements to qualify.
