Jane Hutt MS, Minister for Social Justice
I am pleased to announce that the Welsh Government will continue to fund Citizens Advice Cymru, third sector organisation Settled and immigration specialist lawyers, Newfields Law, to provide ongoing support to EU citizens’, EEA and Swiss nationals who wish to remain in Wales, until 30 September 2022.
Despite the deadline for applications to the EUSS being almost a year ago, we know there continues to an ongoing need for support, covering late applications, appeals against refusals of applications, conversions from pre-settled to settled status, and rights and entitlements.
With this in mind the Welsh Government will continue its provision of support until at least 30 September 2022 and will continue to fund Citizens Advice Cymru, Settled and Newfields Law to ensure EU citizens living in Wales can still access the support they may need.
This additional funding will also ensure that services are able to provide support to citizens including Ukrainian nationals, who may wish to join family members who are already settled here in Wales.
