Settled status - You can received settled status if you’ve been living in the UK by 31st December 2020 and have lived in the UK for a continuous 5 year period (known as ‘continuous residence’). You can then spend up to 5 years in a row outside the UK without losing your status.
Pre-settled status - If you don’t have 5 years’ continuous residence when you apply, you are likely to receive pre-settled status. You must have started living in the UK by 31st December 2020 and then, prior to your pre-settled status expiry, you can apply to change this to settled status once you’ve got 5 years’ continuous residence. With pre-settled status you can spend up to 2 years in a row outside the UK without losing your status, however, you must maintain your continuous residence if you want to qualify for settled status.
