Re: EU national. How to settle in UK despite possible EU exi

You won't find any laws about this subject, simply due to the fact that they don't exist. There is no legal framework regarding EU-state citizens statuses if the UK drops out of the EU. But some people clearly speak about it with certainty, see quotes above. One person said that everyone who made E...

Re: EU national. How to settle in UK despite possible EU exi

In addition to what I wrote above I have found another quote which states: If you have already been working/studying (or otherwise exercising treaty rights with the proper medical insurance if required) you would already be eligible for PR in the UK. That way, leaving the EU wouldn't have an impact...

Re: CSI

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here... It sounds like during this break, you are either seeking work in the near future, or you are already hired and just taking a break before you begin your new job. If that is so, I don't think you need to claim as self-sufficient during this period? You ...

Treaty rights - no (if hold PR for more than 1 year). Residence - yes for the full 5 years. Not just last one.
I stand corrected. Thanks.

Re: Valid EEA Permanent Residence Card / Expired Passport

If the holder can travel with valid RC on expired passport while having a renewed passport too then it should be acceptable to employers as well.

Re: Valid EEA Permanent Residence Card / Expired Passport

This is quite frustrating. During the last 4 years I've used my EEA2 residence card, which was affixed in an expired passport. I have never faced any issues in the border or anywhere else. The EEA2 residence card vignette is a document on itself, with its own expiry date. Why would the expiry date ...

Re: self sufficient eea2

Do you have a steady source of income (i.e. your income - not your EEA's)? If so, I'd advise you to get a joint account with your wife and have your wage paid into this account. This would satisfy the requisite of her having regular access to funds.
