Settled status?
Discussion
What, do you think it’s not enough? Consider that many of us came here because we were called by British firms to work here, and we’ve paid our taxes for many years, contributing to the welfare and development of this country.... Not sure what do you base your idea it would be £6500 on...

It’s stupid that anyone who already has a permanent residence card like my wife, will have to apply for this anyway.
We will start the process for a British passport anyway.
Why, it's different to permanent residence. Your wife can retain her permanent residence, chose to have settled status, or choose to apply for British Citizenship. Each option has it's own risks and benefits.We will start the process for a British passport anyway.
Unsure as to what it means for the lovely Irish Mrs Fungle.
She has lived here for 13 yrs, brought a professional qualification with her, paid a significant amount in taxes and now as a Company Director, helps to successfully run a medium sized business which pays it's staff above what would be expected for the sector.

She doesn't - not really, anyway. If you have a permanent residence card there's no check required, and no fee to pay. We will start the process for a British passport anyway.

No change at all. The Irish are covered by the Common Travel Area which predates the EU, will postdate the EU, and gives more rights in the UK to Mrs Fungle than the EU ever did.She has lived here for 13 yrs, brought a professional qualification with her, paid a significant amount in taxes and now as a Company Director, helps to successfully run a medium sized business which pays it's staff above what would be expected for the sector.

Thanks - not quite sure how I missed that.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/citizen...
Last spot of looking into it I did suggested that that CTA would be advisory only and (possible) subject to change.
Let's hope there are no hidden shockers with this one.

£65 is the same as the application for permanent residence? (which if you already have they will waive the fee).
I'm curious from my wife's POV if you can go from settled to applying for citizenship. Currently you have to apply for permanent residence then citizenship which is a faff. EU citizen never needs to prove residence unless they want to apply for citizenship.
So basically is settled == permanent residence? I assume so if they're making everyone reapply

The machinery to restrict immigration has always been in place despite being in the EU.
Just that the feck wits in charge never instigated it.
On a case by case basis with severe financial consequences if judged not to have followed the rules.Just that the feck wits in charge never instigated it.
As an example the government has just been ordered to pay £70,000 in compensation in relation to a couple they tried to deport as they were sleeping rough. So £70,000, plus the legal fees, to try and deport two people.
Who has faith in the government that they won't f
k it up and we'll find ourselves with another Windrush in 10 years time?
There have already been threads on here where people seemed shocked that having voted to end freedom of movement, there would be some people impacted by the application of the new rules.
