Eligibility
The IAA Level 1 Immigration EU Settlement Scheme registration is for non-profit or charitable organisations that provide advice and services exclusively in this area. Organisations must offer free services or charge only a modest fee to contribute to the running of the organisation.
Guidance updates
Our 2023 Guidance for Advisers and Guidance for Organisations on the EU Settlement Scheme have been updated in line with Home Office regulations, particularly regarding late applications. Changes reflect the updated Immigration Rules, which:
- removed the option for administrative review of eligible decisions made on or after 5 October 2023
- limited the circumstances under which a person can submit a late application
Application process
To apply, please submit the following:
- IAA Level 1 Immigration (EU Settlement Scheme) application form
- new adviser application
- competence statement (EU Settlement Scheme) for each adviser
Refer to the guidance documents above before applying.
Once complete, email your application to info@immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk.
For-Profit Organisations
Organisations operating on a for-profit basis should apply for IAA Level 1 Immigration registration, which will enable them to provide advice and services across the full range of immigration matters.
