Does the Home Office's crackdown on EU citizens' post-Brexit rights using travel data risk errors?
Yes 0%No 100%1 vote cast
The EU Settlement Scheme grants settled status to EU citizens who lived in the UK by December 31, 2020, requiring continuous residency for five years, defined as not exceeding 180 days absent in any 12-month period with allowances for absences. The Home Office now reviews cases using airline passenger and border travel data to revoke status from those overstaying abroad. Concerns arise after an HMRC data error and because travel records miss domestic flights, private travel, or short trips, potentially leading to wrongful revocations.
