>>> Can a Visitor switch into a EU Pre-Settled Status in the UK ?
The answer is “Yes, on the basis of the current Rules, namely:
Guidance at page 101 of the EUSS Guidance:
'For applications decided from 6 October 2021, the requirement not to be in the UK as a visitor was removed from Appendix EU (by virtue of the changes made in Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules: HC 617). This means that applicants are no longer required not to be in the UK as a visitor to qualify for leave under Appendix EU as a joining family member of a relevant sponsor.'
!!! Note that an switching application must be lodged within 3 months from entry into the UK !!!
