You can live in the UK permanently. You can work, study and use the NHS and other public services in the same way as a British citizen living in the UK. But you can lose settled status – for instance if you leave the UK and don’t come back for more than five years, or if you commit a serious crime.
When do you have to leave the UK if you are an EU citizen?
If you’re an EU citizen living in the UK by 31 December 2020 – or from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland – your rights remain the same until 30 June 2021. But you should check if you can stay after that.
Can a EU citizen apply for permanent residence in the UK?
This type of document is issued under EU law, not the EU Settlement Scheme, and the rules are different. For most people there is no point in applying for a permanent residence document.
Can you live in the EU after 31 January 2020?
During the transition period, you and your family members will be able to continue to live, work and study in the EU as you did before 31 January 2020. The rules on travelling to the EU will remain the same during this period. You can move to a different country in the EU in the same way as you could before 31 January 2020.
How long can a US citizen stay in the UK?
If you have family or a relative living in the UK with either British Citizenship, settlement or asylum status then you may be able to apply for a Family of a Settled Person Visa. This entitles you to move to the UK for a period of six months or more. You can actually stay for up to 33 months, at which point you can then extend your visa.

Can a British citizen apply for a Spouse Visa?
UK Spouse Visas are one of the most common visa types that we deal with on a day to day basis. If your husband, wife or civil partner is a British Citizen then you can apply through this visa category to live in the UK. Differing from other visa types, a spouse visa will also grant you the right to work in the UK during your residency.
