You are welcome here.

Both are correct, depending on what you mean....
If you mean that a person will be welcoming you here when you arrive, then "welcome" is used as a verb and hence, "you are welcomed here" would be grammatically correct. It is used similarly to "you are robbed here", "you are greeted here".
If you mean that a person will feel "welcomed", i.e. comfortable and at home, here, then "welcome" is a descriptive noun. So "You are welcome here" is grammatically correct. It is used similarly to "youare happy here", "you are busy here".
Having said that, I think any English teacher would say that while they are grammatically correct, it is "ugly English"

Without the d. "You are welcomed here" sounds more like an incomplete declaration. If the wel- and -come are split the "come" portion is a past participle and the expression is an analog of, say, "bien venue" in French.

It depends on how you construct the sentence.
If you are using the word 'welcome' as a verb, then the 'd' is necessary because of the presence of the word 'is' (BE + participle = is welcomed)
For example: She is welcomed into the home of every common folk.
But if you are using the word 'welcome' as a part of a direct speech like 'You are welcome!', then there shouldn't be a 'd' at the end of the word 'welcome'.

One is a statement, informing you what is or will happen, in the future tense "you are welcomed here" ie. if you intend to visit the local Mosque," you are/will be welcomed here". The other is current tense, "you are welcome" ie, someone says "thank you" you answer, "you are welcome".

Welcome.
"are" in the sentence signifies present tense.
"were" is past tense (that is when you would add the "d")

"are" is a present tense, so no "d". Also it is very funny to use "You are welcome here". The correct sentence should be "You are welcome".
Cheers.

Welcomed is past tense, welcome is present tense. Are is present tense. The correct answer is, "You are welcome here."
