WQ.86/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS
BY DEPUTY C.S. ALVES OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th MARCH 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th MARCH 2022
Question
In relation to settled status, will the Minister advise –
- how many applications have been received since 30th June 2021;
- what percentage of these applications have been rejected;
- on what grounds any such applications have been rejected; and
- how many people who are eligible for settled status are predicted not to have applied?
Answer
- 511
- 18 applications refused, 3.5%
- 17 for not meeting the residency criteria and 1 due to not meeting the relationship criteria as a Joining Family Member. A large proportion of these refusals originate from EU nationals who were unaware of the residency requirements and only came to the Island for the first time after 2020.
- It is not possible to provide an estimate to this figure, there have never been any clear figures of the number of EU nationals who were living in the Island prior to 2021. Even if there were there is no way to determine how many may have left and not returned. In the last 6 months there have been less than 20 people that have come the attention of the Jersey Customs & Immigration Service who are eligible to the scheme but had not yet applied.
