Apply for a Retained Right of Residence under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)

You may be able to apply for an EU Settlement Scheme family permit if you previously had the right to live in the UK through an eligible family member, but your family member has died, left the UK, or the relationship has broken down. This is called having ‘retained the right of residence’.

You may have ‘retained the right of residence’ if:

• your eligible family member died
• you’re their child, they died or left the UK, and you are in education in the UK
• you’ve had a child with them, they died or left the UK, and the child is in education in the UK
• they divorced you or a member of your family
• the relationship has broken down permanently because of domestic violence or abuse
