Amend how absences from the UK are calculated for the purpose of settled status

Petition Details

In order to qualify for settled status persons with Pre-settled status cannot be absent from the country for more than six months in any 12-month period. This calculation should be based on fixed 12-month periods, starting with when the EU citizen arrived in the UK, not a rolling 12-month period.

Additional Information

The Government must review this rule and ensure absences are calculated in line with EU guidance, so that people do not lose out on rights to settled status.
