EEA citizens granted status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)
Since July 2021, many EEA citizens will need to prove their right to work using the Home Office online right to work service. Those who have made a successful application to the EUSS will have been granted their immigration status digitally and can only prove their right to work using Home Office online service ‘prove your right to work to an employer’ available on GOV.UK.
If an EEA citizen has been granted ‘Settled Status’ by the Home Office, they will have a continuous right to work, in the same way as someone with Indefinite Leave to Enter/Remain status.
If an EEA citizen has been granted ‘Pre-Settled Status’ by the Home Office, they will have a time-limited right to work and you must carry out a follow-up check. The Home Office online service will advise when a follow-up check must be carried out.
If you are unsure of the documentation you require to confirm your right to work in the UK, please contact the UK Border Agency on 0870 606 7766.
If you are invited to an interview, we will ask that you bring evidence.
