brexit: permanent resident status for brits

[riku2]

Mirgi have updated their website to allow brits who previously had right of residence as an EU citizen to change their status to permanent residents under the withdrawal agreement. Applications opened on 1st October and you can apply here:

I'm not sure on the timelines for these applications. The change of status is free of charge but needs a visit to the immigration service point. No appointments available in Helsinki for the rest of 2020.

Are you sure about the availability of appointments? I see so many just in October.

appointment availability varies depending on what you are applying for.
for residence permit / 5. permanent residence permit / helsinki there is not a single appointment available for the three months of booking slots they have available.

You are supposed to book under EU Registration --> Brexit.

Exactly! That's why I was confused, because I see so many appointments open.
