The FCA portal for incoming EEA firms to notify the PRA and the FCA of their intention to enter the UK Temporary Permissions Regime ("TPR") is now open.
The TPR will apply if the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019 without an implementation (transitional) period. It ensures that EEA firms currently operating under an incoming passport (either from a UK branch or on a cross-border services basis into the UK) can continue to carry out regulated activities in the UK until they receive new direct authorisation by the UK regulators.
This short "at a glance" guide contains an overview of how the TPR will apply to EEA (re)insurers and suggests some next steps. Notifications must be submitted before 29 March 2019.
