However, campaigners say the decision must be backed by more explicit wording in guidance to case workers \u2013 or EU citizens will end up having to \u201cbeg\u201d for their rights to be recognised.<\/p>\n<p>The change follows a series of stories of EU citizens facing devastating consequences, highlighted by the Guardian. EU citizens living in the UK and Britons living in the EU before Brexit have the lifelong right to remain in the country they were living in under the Brexit withdrawal agreement. The government launched the EU settlement scheme to document the near 6 million EU citizens in the country. The scheme closed in June 2021, but late applications were considered on \u201creasonable grounds\u201d. Problems arose last August in a Home Office crackdown. New rules removed \u201clack of awareness\u201d of the settlement scheme as a reasonable ground for a late application.<\/p>\n<p>The decision caused significant difficulties for EU citizens, including one Italian restaurateur who had been paying tax in the UK for 21 years but overnight found his bank account frozen by Santander, forcing him to close his business as he could not pay staff or suppliers. Massimo, an EU citizen in the UK, had his bank account frozen mistakenly. \u201cI\u2019ve done nothing wrong and they just say one day \u2018bye, bye\u2019, no explanation, nothing. It\u2019s been horrible,\u201d Massimo told the Guardian. Campaigners estimate that potentially tens of thousands of EU citizens applied for permanent residency cards after 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/jan\/19\/home-office-to-allow-eu-citizens-who-missed-residency-deadline-to-stay-in-uk\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/jan\/19\/home-office-to-allow-eu-citizens-who-missed-residency-deadline-to-stay-in-uk\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/home-office-to-allow-eu-citizens-who-missed-residency-deadline-to-stay-in-uk\/\">Home Office to allow EU citizens who missed residency deadline to stay in UK<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[981,274,13021,579,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-124746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-citizen","tag-eu","tag-homeoffice","tag-uk","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124746\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
