EU citizens living in Scotland

Overview

EU citizens living in Scotland (and the rest of the UK) must have a valid immigration status. Depending on your circumstances you may be eligible to apply for immigration status under either the:

  • EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS)
  • points-based immigration system

Find out more about the EUSS and the UK Government's point-based immigration system.

Irish citizens do not need leave to enter or stay in the UK. This is due to the Common Travel Area arrangement.
