Do I have a Permanent Right to Reside? The purpose of this app is to help establish whether you or your client are likely to have a permanent right to reside in the UK under EU law. Please be aware that, as a result of Brexit, permanent residence status will not provide you with a valid right to reside in the UK after 31 December 2020. To continue living in the UK after that date, you should apply to the EU Settlement Scheme. Manage Cookie Preferences
