I have pre-settled status but I have broken my continuous residence. What shall I do?
If you broke your continuous residence, but were able to return to the UK before 31 December 2020 and you have maintained continuous residence since, you must reapply for fresh pre-settled status if you wish to eventually apply for settled status.
If you were not able to restart your continuous residence before 31 December 2020, then unfortunately you will not be able to apply for settled status, nor will you be able to renew your pre-settled status.
