EEA Family Permit and the entitlement to work (A2 spouse)
Posted: Thu Jun 30, 2011 1:47 pm
Hi,
My name is Miky and I am a non-EEA citizen. I was granted an EEA Family Permit to travel together with my husband in the UK. My husband is from Romania (A2 group) and he will study in UK two years beginning with September 2011. On the form new form BR 1 from 06/june/2011 GUIDANCE FOR NATIONALS OF BULGARIA AND ROMANIA ON OBTAINING PERMISSION TO WORK IN THE UK it is written:
7. You will be exempt from the requirement to obtain authorization to work in the UK if:
•You are the family member of a Bulgarian or Romanian who is exercising a Treaty Right as a student, self-sufficient person or self-employed person. You will remain exempt provided that your sponsor remains a student, self-sufficient person or self-employed.
UK Border Agency:
A family member of an EEA national who intends to travel with them or join them in the UK can work without a work permit. Family members are generally not required to register under the Worker Registration Scheme or comply with the special requirements for Bulgarian and Romanian workers. The EEA national must be a 'qualified person' in the UK.
A ‘qualified person’ is an EEA national or a Swiss national who is in the United Kingdom and by virtue of EU legislation is a
•worker
•self-employed person
•self-sufficient person
•student
If you wish to exercise your Treaty right as a student you are not required to apply for a registration certificate.
My question is: May I work when my husband will begin his study?
Any advice or discussion will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
