For women with European citizenship
If you are a citizen of an EU country (including Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) and you started living in the UK before 31 December 2020, you should have applied to the EU Settlement Scheme before the deadline on 30 June 2021 to keep your right to live and work in the UK.
