What are retained rights?
In some situations, such as divorce or bereavement, family members of EU citizens may be able to keep their right to live in the UK. We assess whether retained rights apply and how to evidence them.

Risks & important considerations
Eligibility after change
Divorce, bereavement or another family change does not automatically create retained rights. The exact relationship and status history matter.
Evidence of the relationship
Marriage, residence and other records may be needed to establish the qualifying period and circumstances before the relationship changed.
Current immigration position
Changing family circumstances may affect the next EUSS step. Check existing permission and any alternative route before applying.
