		</div><p>More than three million EU citizens have applied to live and work in the UK after Brexit, according to the British Home Office.</p>
<p>The department announced on Thursday the latest up-to-date internal figures of how many people have applied for the EU Settlement Scheme.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>More than 2.7 million applicants have been granted permission to remain in the UK so far, according to the announcement.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, official figures published at the same time show more than 2.7 million applications were made up until the end of last year.</p>
<p>Between August 28 2018 and December 31 2019, more than 2.4 million applications were finalised, the Home Office data showed.</p>
<p>Of these, 58% were granted settled status – a permanent right to remain – and 41% were handed pre-settled status, which gives them temporary permission to keep living in the country and the chance to reapply once they have done so for five years.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>There were 12,950 applications void or withdrawn, 3,280 classed as “invalid” and six refused on suitability grounds – valid applications which were denied because the applicants were regarded as serious or persistent criminals.</p>
<p>British Home Secretary Priti Patel said: “I’m delighted that there have already been more than three million applications to the hugely successful EU Settlement Scheme.</p>
<p>“It’s the biggest scheme of its kind in British history and means that EU citizens can evidence their rights for decades to come.</p>
<p>“It’s now time for EU countries to adopt a similar scheme.”</p>
