UK residence cards

Skip contents

If you do not have pre-settled or settled status

You cannot use your UK residence card at the border to enter the UK unless you applied to the EU Settlement Scheme by 30 June 2021.

You might still be able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme if you have not yet applied.

If your UK residence card has not reached its expiry date, you can use it as proof of identity when you apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.

You can apply for an EU Settlement Scheme family permit to come to the UK, and apply to the EU Settlement Scheme once you’re here.

If you cannot apply, check what type of visa you’ll need to come to the UK.
