Late EU Settlement Scheme applications are still possible for some Swiss nationals, but they are no longer treated as a straightforward administrative exercise.

The Home Office now expects applicants to explain why the deadline was missed and to provide evidence supporting that explanation. Applications without a substantive reason may be rejected as invalid.

Our latest article explores common situations affecting Swiss nationals, including:

• holding an old EEA residence or permanent residence document
• only discovering the issue during a right to work or right to rent check
• misunderstanding the effect of Brexit on existing UK residence rights
• delays between discovering the problem and making the application
• further late applications after an earlier refusal

For many applicants, careful preparation of the explanation and supporting evidence is critical.

Many Swiss citizens living in the UK assume that once they obtain settled status, British citizenship is simply a formality. The legal requirements are often more detailed than expected.

Absence limits, exact qualifying dates, referee rules, English language evidence and the good character requirement can all affect whether a naturalisation application succeeds.

Our latest article addresses 10 common questions from Swiss nationals considering British citizenship, including:

• how long applicants must live in the UK before applying
• when settled status holders can naturalise
• how travel outside the UK is calculated
• what issues can affect the good character requirement
• when a British passport can be requested after approval

Applying for an EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit from Switzerland often involves more than gathering a few family documents.

UKVI may examine sponsor status, relationship timing, dependency, cohabitation history and whether Swiss, EU and UK records fit together consistently. A missing explanation for different spellings, address histories or translated documents can create avoidable problems.

For some applicants, the key issue is proving a durable relationship before the relevant deadline. For others, it is demonstrating financial dependency or preparing the correct sponsor evidence.

Our latest article explains the practical and evidential issues that frequently arise in EUSS Family Permit applications from Switzerland.

Do travellers based in Switzerland now need a UK ETA to visit the UK? In many cases, yes.

In our latest article, we explain how the UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme affects Swiss citizens, EU nationals living in Switzerland and non-EU residents travelling to the UK for business or tourism.

The article explores:

• who needs an ETA and who still requires a UK visitor visa
• why Swiss residence permits do not determine UK entry requirements
• the risks of assuming business travel is automatically permitted as a visitor
• how passport choice and immigration history can affect travel eligibility
• practical checks to make before booking UK travel

A useful read for internationally mobile professionals and Switzerland-based businesses with UK travel needs.
