I have received CoA today. It says "You are permitted to accept offers of employment in the United Kingdom, .." Do you think this means that I am allow to apply for job and work in UK? What do the employer's opinion about CoA? Any idea or any experience? So far my timeline is; 22th Sep, 2011: Sent ...
Hi Penelope111, yes, we have applied as a self-sufficient category as well. but I, non eu citizen, am not working currently. I just completed my dissertation on my degree waiting for the result. and yes, we have received the COA just today as you said. thanks. We have submitted follwoing documents ...
I've submitted on 22nd of september as a self-sufficient. I wonder about the news of my application. I have'nt got the coa yet, but any update i would have, i will let you know.
Many thanks for your clear reply, Jambo! Just got one more question. Is there any restriction for the number of days staying in abroad during the EEA2 application process?
Hello everyone, Many thanks to all of you in this forum. I recently sent my application to the UK border agency and currently waiting for my CoA to arrive. What would happen if I request my passport back after I got the CoA from UKBA. Do I need to give them back my passport later? Or I read from ...
Tacka! glad to see same case as mine. I'm korean and married to swedish. So I can understand your username as well. Me and my spouse is preparing EEA2 but haven't sent the documents yet. One thing I am worried is that my spouse belongs to self-sufficient category and I am a student currentlyl. So we ...
oh, we haven't sent the documents yet. But we decided to send my spouse's EU identity card, instead of passport.
By the way, within EU countries, EU citizens can freely move with EU identity card (without passport) but not UK. UK require passport, so EU identity card is not enough to entre the UK.
How long do we have to expect for our passports to be return from the moment of dispatching the documents? Because my spouse is still doing the phd in sweden and need to go back..
Same case as me. Could you please tell me what exactly the comprehensive sickness insurance are? or to what extent the comprehensive insurance has to cover? The prices are so varied and quite expansive though.
Can you please explain what does it exactly mean "comprehensive"? I am not sure what is the appropriate level of the cost per month for the "Comprehensive sickness insurance", however I was quoted like around £80 per month(for two of us). Is this reasonable??? Does the "comprehensive" insurance has ...

I think it may be more realistic to prove as a self-sufficient person. As 86ti, doctoral students seems so busy for just doing their own work... even though they do have flexible time for a part time job and some people really do if their grant is small. In terms of CSI, does it have to cover both ...
Hello! Thanks for your comments! @86ti; oh yes,we might have to look up the tax issue. @ directive; my wife does not do any paid work for the UK employer (even part time) here in UK. She is PhD student in Sweden but it is like a researcher job so she gets paid every month. She also teaches ...
Thank you 86ti! No, she pays tax only for sweden, not UK. No NI contribution in the UK. She can proove her health insurance provided by her employer, university. She receives her salary from her university in sweden to her swedish account. She has a bank account in UK but it is only for her living ...
Thank you so mucn 86ti!
I forgot to mention but she is not employed by university in UK but in Sweden. Does she still belong to worker? or self-sufficient?
Hello everyone! Having been reading many posts in this discussion board, I have learnt a lot. However I am still not sure about "exercising treat rights in UK" in our case. I am a non-EU national, doing my MSc degree under my student visa, due to Nov 2011. My spouse is an EU-national(swedish). She ...
