Worth having a timeline for EEA3, but you can leave out the Method of application: since postal is the only option for EEA3. Likewise I'm not aware of any Eligibility criteria other than 5 years worth of Treaty Rights. On the other hand, what you could add would be
- Treaty Rights Exercised: where people could list Employed, Self-employed, Student, Self-sufficient, etc.
