All EU nationals and their family members living lawfully in the UK before the specified date will be eligible to apply for status. Subject to security checks, applicants who are able to evidence five years’ continuous lawful residence will be given settled status; those who do not will receive a temporary status to enable them to accrue five years’ residence and qualify for settled status in due course.

As our reply to HC1275 states, the Home Office does not hold any data on the numbers of EU citizens in Glasgow who may have to apply for settled status. The same is true of temporary status.
