I have EEA PR already, will UK cancel all issued PR after brexit? I am not an expert on immigration law, but my answer to this will almost definitely be NO. As far as I understand, under UK immigration law to obtain permanent residence status you need to have lived in the UK legally for 5 years. It...

I used the European passport return service (EPRS).
Submitted everything yesterday along with the £20 fee.
Documents delivered today via DX

I hope it is successful this time.

Utilising time under EEA regs for UK LR is at discretion; you would have to show you were a qualified person or else no dice. If you were a qp you should have acquired PR by now (so no need for LR attempt). You need rock solid proof ofcourse, noone will give benefit of doubt and rubberstamp you thr...

I tried and it was refused on the basis that my Italian Passport has expired. Now I want to apply for ILR as I have lived in the UK for more than 10 years (I know, most people would be thinking: JUST GET A NEW ITALIAN PASSPORT!) But I really just want to go down the route required to eventually get...

You have probably acquired PR status by now. If so you don't have to exercise treaty rights anymore (unless you want to). With all this wild talk of Brexit it may be prudent to secure your position in UK with DCPR. I tried and it was refused on the basis that my Italian Passport has expired. Now I ...

I have lived and worked in the UK legally as an EEA national exercising treaty rights from 1998 to present. My Italian passport expired June 2015. Nothing else in my life circumstances have changed other than moving into a new house. I am still working in the same job (18 years+) as a qualified pers...

Hello Wise, This is a quote directly from the Europa website: http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/residence/documents-formalities/eu-nationals-permanent-residence/index_en.htm Updated : 29/03/2016 As EU national, you automatically acquire the right of permanent residence in another EU country if yo...

If your application is simple, for example you are applying on the basis of being a worker for 5 years, then to simplify things I suggest using an old version of the EEA3 form. It's much shorter and less intrusive. You still need to pay the £65 fee, though. That form doesn't seem to exist anymore. ...

EEA(PR): 5.3 Have you (or has your sponsor, if applicable) had any absences from the UK since you/they entered? In regard to the above question: I take it 'absences' is defined as long periods, not short holidays a person typically takes? Some forms specify absences as being 6 months. It's not clear...

Hello secret.simon, Having read more thoroughly the advice in this forum and official documentation from HO, I can say unequivocally that I have lived and worked in the UK as an EEA qualified person exercising treaty rights for 17 years continuously. I think I have enough documentary evidence to sho...

Hi noajthan, Sorry I have been sparse with details which have probably made advising me difficult! In 1998 I came to the UK from Australia because I was offered a full time job with a British company and I still work for the same company I was able to live and work in the UK under the EU freedom of ...

I appreciate the answers but I am still none the wiser. According to all the information I read, an EU national is granted UK permanent residency AUTOMATICALLY after 5 years of continuous residency in the UK. By my definition, ‘automatic’ means I didn’t have to do anything other than live in the UK ...

My Italian passport has expired and I don't have an Italian ID card. I have other forms of valid identity, such as a UK driving licence, a valid Australian passport and I can get a letter from my employer to prove I have lived and worked in the UK as a resident for 17 continuous years. I just don't ...

I arrived in the UK as an EU national using an Italian passport under the freedom of movement for workers policy agreement. I have lived continuously in the UK for the last 17 years. According to what I read on the GOV website, residency is an automatic right after 5 years of continuous residency. I...
