Apply to stay in the UK as a stateless person
You can use this form if you want to stay in the UK because you are stateless:
- which means that you are not recognised as a national of any country and
- you do not have the right to reside in any other country
Partners and children of a stateless person
If you are the partner or child of a stateless person (and are not yourself stateless) you can only apply on this form if you were granted permission as a partner or child of a stateless person before 31 January 2024 and are applying to extend that permission or you are applying for settlement.
In any other case, if you are the partner or child of a stateless person (and are not yourself stateless) you must apply on a different form. For more information about which form to use, please see Family visas: apply, extend or switch: Overview - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
