Immigration: EU Nationals

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will take steps to ensure that all of the EU Settlement Scheme application process is available in every European language.

Answer

We have no plans to make the application process available in every European language. The application for the EU Settlement Scheme is simple and straight forward.

The application process has been tested with users of different abilities and we have conducted research with those who do not read English. We have also published the scheme guidance in 26 different European languages.

In addition, there are now over 300 assisted digital centres where applicants can be supported through their application and we have awarded up to £9 million funding for 57 voluntary and community sector organisations across the UK to help reach more vulnerable or at risk EU citizens and their family members directly.
