OK I have found this DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States amending Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 and repealing Directives 64 ...

An EFM does NOT have the right to work for six months. The right of an EFM (as opposed to a family member) only starts with the issue of a Family Permit or Residence Card. S/he does NOT have the right to work or reside in the UK before the issue of the Family Permit (if outside the UK) or the ...

Hi,

Can anyone point me to the documentation or legislation that shows an extended family member on an EEA Family Permit can work in the 6months.

Thanks

Back to Australia is not practical, and down right absurd. This is not HO's concern to be honest. I know, but still... fair go and all that. I am on leave without pay. However recent payslips may also be a problem. Though my company would be happy to go the Tier 2 (General) path as well. I also ...

OK if you're from Europe. Back to Australia is not practical, and down right absurd. As I understand it, there is a possibility the decision is at the discretion of the immigration officer.

Wow that is a surprise. Can you please point me to the documentation/guidance material that states this.

I'm on a 3 month tourist visa. I am not working at the moment.

OK, I also note that the points required for ICT is 60, General is 70. I don't believe a criminal check is needed for ICT. And minimum salary requirements are lower on General. Can I complete the biometric in the UK? So I assume I can still go to UK on a tourist visa. Leave to Ireland for a day or ...

Thanks for the reply.

I am temporarily in Ireland, so I want to go setup in London whilst my visa is sorted.

The company I work for in Australia, is a UK based company hence, Tier 2 ICT.
However there seems to be very little difference between General and ICT.

Hi All,
I'm an Australian so can stay in the UK as a tourist for 6months without a visa.

Can I apply for a Tier 2 ICT visa from within the UK as an Australian tourist without a visa? It does not seem to be considered switching in the guidance documentation.

Thankyou for your help.
