After March 29, 2022, family members will need to apply through applicable UK Immigration Rules.
SCOTS living abroad could have difficulty in bringing family members with them if they choose to return to Scotland after Brexit, according to the Scottish Government.
UK Government proposals published earlier this month outlined that UK nationals will be able to return to the country with their children and other close family members under existing rules until March 29, 2022.
After that date, the UK says that family members will be able to return to the UK by applying through applicable UK Immigration Rules. However, concerns have been raised over a planned skills-based immigration system, which will replace freedom of movement.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
