Recently, our team was asked a question: “Can I apply for an EUSS Family Permit if my EU citizen partner has already left the UK?”

We wanna share the answer from our specialists:

12.06.2025 23:29:36 The EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) Family Permit is designed to allow non-EEA family members of EEA or Swiss citizens to join their family member in the UK. However, if your EU citizen partner has already left the UK, it might complicate your application. For a successful application, generally, the EU citizen should be residing in the UK or planning to return to the UK with you. If they have permanently left the UK and do not intend to return, this could affect your eligibility for an EUSS Family Permit. It's important to note that immigration rules can be complex and subject to change. Therefore, it may be beneficial for you to consult with an immigration advisor or lawyer who can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and any recent updates in immigration policy.

13.06.2025 16:12:20 Generally, to apply for an EUSS Family Permit, your EU citizen partner must be living in the UK with pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. If your partner has already left the UK and does not have status under the Scheme, you usually cannot apply for the Family Permit. However, if your partner has settled or pre-settled status and intends to return to the UK, you may still be eligible to apply, provided you can prove your relationship and their status. Each case is unique, so it is important to seek legal advice to assess your specific circumstances and possible alternative routes to join your partner in the UK.

14.06.2025 20:13:44 You generally cannot apply for an EUSS Family Permit if your EU citizen partner has already left the UK, as the permit is intended for family members joining or accompanying an EU, EEA, or Swiss citizen currently residing in the UK under the EU Settlement Scheme. However, if your partner lived in the UK before 31 December 2020 and you are applying to join them, you might still be eligible. If your partner no longer lives in the UK, other visa routes may apply instead. It is important to check your specific circumstances with a qualified immigration lawyer.
