Dear PURNI BHRAT GETALAL,

I am pleased to inform you that your application to the EU Settlement Scheme has been
successful and that you have been granted Indefinite Leave in the United Kingdom,
under Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules. This is also referred to as settled status. If
you were in the UK on the date of your application, that is Indefinite Leave to Remain. If
you were outside the UK on the date of your application, that is Indefinite Leave to Enter.
Your status takes effect from the date of this letter, which can be found above.
Your settled status in the UK can be confirmed online through the GOV.UK service 'View
your settled or pre-settled status': view-and-prove-your-rights.homeoffice.gov.uk.
You will be able to use the online service to show your settled status in the UK. This
letter is not proof of your status.
Read the section below titled important information to find out more about viewing your
status online and about your status and rights including your right to work and to access
benefits and services.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this letter, details on contacting us can
be found on our website: https://eu-settled-status-enquiries.service.gov.uk.
Yours sincerely,
UKVI European Casework
On behalf of the Secretary of State
Important information
Your status
As you now have settled status there is no time limit on how long you can stay in the UK.
Your settled status gives you the right to stay in the UK under UK immigration law. At the
same time, you can also continue to rely on any rights you have as an EEA or Swiss
citizen or family member of an EEA or Swiss citizen under EU law for as long as it
remains in force in the UK: www.gov.uk/right-to-reside.
Online evidence of your status
1 of 3
This letter is not proof of your status in the UK. Your status is linked to the passport,
national identity card or biometric residence card that was used to apply for the scheme.
You can view your online status at any time at view-and-prove-your-
rights.homeoffice.gov.uk. In line with existing requirements, you may be required to prove
your status in order to demonstrate your right to work, or to access benefits and services,
for example to prospective employers and landlords, the National Health Service (NHS),
other Government departments and local authorities.
As well as being able to use valid residence documentation or a passport or national
identity card to evidence your rights for as long as EU law remains in force in the UK, you
can also use the GOV.UK service to prove your rights in the UK under the UK's
immigration rules.
You will be able to use the online checking service to show your right to work to an
employer by letting them view your status online. In due course, you will also be able to
use it to show a landlord your right to rent. Employers and landlords must already check
your right to work or rent in the UK, but this service will let them to check your rights
online.
To maintain access to your online status and keep your status up to date, you will need to
tell us if you change your email address or mobile phone number.
If you renew or replace the identity document you used in your application, or you change
your name after making your application, you will need to tell us so that your immigration
status is up to date.
To access your online status, you will need the document number you used to make your
application – therefore please make a note of your document number for future reference.
You can let us know about any changes through your online profile at: view-and-prove-
your-rights.homeoffice.gov.uk.
You can find out more general guidance on viewing and proving your rights at:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-view-and-prove-your-rights-
in-the-uk
Work and access to benefits and services
As a person with settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you may engage in
business or an occupation, or be self-employed, as long as you comply with any legal
requirements for that activity. You do not need permission from a Government department
to take or change employment, but you will still need to prove your rights to work in the
UK to employers, just as you do now.
You do not need permission to enrol in education or continue studying.
You are entitled to NHS healthcare if you are ordinarily resident in the UK. In this context
ordinarily resident means living in the UK on a lawful, voluntary and properly settled basis
for the time being.
The leave you have been granted entitles you to access benefits and services, provided
you meet the relevant eligibility requirements for the specific benefit or fund.
Entering the UK
There are no changes for when you come back into the UK after travelling abroad. You
should join the queue for EEA citizens and present your travel document.

Time outside the UK
If you leave the UK and return within five years, you can enter the UK and continue to live
here as a person with settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. If you leave the
UK for more than five years your settled status will lapse and you will need to make a new
application under one of the routes which may be available to you to return to the UK. In
the application, you will need to meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules in force
at that time. The EU Settlement Scheme may no longer be available to you if you make a
further application after the deadline. If you are a Swiss citizen or the family member of a
Swiss citizen, you can only be absent for four consecutive years before your settled status
lapses.
Family members
As a person with settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, your family members
may be able to join or remain with you in the UK under the EU Settlement Scheme. You
can find further information about this at www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-
families/eligibility. Or you may be able to sponsor a family visa for them – you can find
further information about this at: www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa.
British citizenship
If you would like to find about becoming a British citizen, you can find information at:
www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen.
If a child is born to you in the UK while you have settled status, they will be a British
citizen automatically at birth. You can find further information about this at:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-nationality-policy-guidance.
Removal from the UK
Where a person who is not a British citizen commits a serious criminal offence,
consideration will be given to whether they should be permitted to continue living in the
UK.
Data Protection
The Data Protection Act 2018 governs how we use personal data. For details of how we
will use your personal information and who we may share it with please see our Privacy
Notice for the Border, Immigration and Citizenship system at
