UKs Home Secretary Ms. Priti Patel on EEA Family
Permit

• In the words of UKs Home Secretary Ms. Priti
  Patel, On 31 October, we will leave the EU come
  what may. Introducing tougher checks and ending
  free movement as it currently stands will allow
  us to take the first, historic steps towards
  taking back control of our borders.
• The words of this announcement shocked not only
  the EEA and Switzerland nationals but also their
  family members living outside the EEA who could
  accompany those EEA and Swiss nationals
  intending to live in the UK on a long term basis.
• According to the latest announcement by the UK
  Home Secretary, free movement for EEA and Swiss
  nationals would not remain the same as it exists
  in the present day after 31st October 2019 (the
  day UK will exit the EU).
• Citizens of the EEA and Switzerland along with
  their family members of EEA Nationals, after the
  31st of October 2019, would have an option of
  securing a temporary immigration status for a
  period of 3 years until 31st December 2020.
• Further proposed changes include
• Removal of the blue EU customs channel after
  31st October 2019, requiring all travellers to
  make customs declarations through the red or
  green channels.
• Introduction of blue UK passports in the later
  part of the year 2019
• EEA and Swiss nationals along with their close
  family members, arriving in the UK after 31st
  October 2019 would not be allowed the same
  permanent residence rights that are presently in
  effect.
• These changes do not mean that free movement
  would completely end after the 31st of October
  2019, they however indicate that the same rights
  would not be exercisable after the said date. EU
  citizens would still be able to visit the UK for
  visits and short trips but should they wish to
  remain in the UK beyond 31st December 2020 they
  would have to apply through Euro TLR (European
  Temporary Leave to remain) which would grant them
  temporary leave to remain in the UK, limited to
  a fixed period of time.
