Is the OP's question about PR applications after a possible Brexit or after a vote to stay in, with the UK-EU deal? This article in the Telegraph should afford some comfort. It is written by leading people in the Leave camp and it seems that even they recognise that people already in the UK will co...

I wasn't sure where to post, either here or the EEA forum, so moderators please feel free to move it accordingly. Do we know for sure what will become of applications for permanent residence for EU citizens in case of Brexit? I'm not taking for those who have already received or are in the process o...

Thanks Lily and O'Hara. Regarding the 375 days. I decided to call the HMRC at the normal number (not the dedicated NI&EO office). After waiting about 40 minutes they confirmed the 375 days, because they say that the timeline is almost 20 years. They suggested me to give a call in a couple of mon...

I am waiting for the outcome of a SAR that I sent to the HMRC requesting my complete employers history for the last 16 years. This would be my only lifeline as I have lost relevant documents, so that it's difficult to pick 5 consecutive years that I've exercised treaty rights. The lady over the phon...

I would have thought that if one achieves PR status, this shouldn't be lost, regardless of EU law. And I would have also thought that a negative change in legislation should not be retrospective. But if the Murphy's law means anything, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. Once the UK is no l...

Here's a link to request form to try: https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/shortforms/form/DPU_SAR Thanks for the link. I then called the HMRC and the operator told me I made a mistake by mentioning the Home Office. He said I should reply to the letter and re apply using the data protection act, which I will...

NI contribution can work. I recently argued that class 2 or class 4 payment of taxes can be used as evidence of self employment and this was accepted. Thanks Obie but I don't want to go through this route because some years I was on income based JSA and I paid no NI. Therefore this is a gap I don't...

Some deluded ultra right wing Kippers types like to think that if the UK leaves the EU, the latter will collapse. Hence British expats, retaining Uebermensch status, will be allowed to stay because they are wealthy and bring money and prosperity. In reality most expats in Europe are pensioners who d...

A quick update and a request for help. I sent my request using the form as per link in my 1st post. The Hmrc was quite quick in replying, but instead of sending me a detailed employment history, they sent me a page with a summary of my NIC contributions, which is useless to me. Is this the most I ca...

I see it more likely that Scotland leaves the UK than the UK leaves the EU. But should the latter happen, than the earlier would follow immediately.

Or write a latter with your PR application for HO to make that request on your behalf

Good luck.

I didn't know I could do that.

How have you been victimised? Yes, I had jobs refused. I was told in my face they would do their best not to get me a job. There were recruiters for well paid jobs. Plus I had cases of people telling me to go back to where I come from, and things like that. Never happened before; only in the last t...

It's not about tax. It's about having a record of employment to then apply for PR.

Can anybody help?

Hello, In a previous thread I was pointed out to this resource: http://robertleach.co.uk/2013/08/requesting-employment-histories-from-hmrc/ to request an employment history from the HMRC. Unfortunately this page doesn't have a link to the actual form. I suspect it is this one: https://www.gov.uk/gov...

If your parents are British they don't need any visa. All they need is a rental contract to register with the Gemeente and then to pay into an insurance.

After being victimised in the last three years (out my almost 17 years) I have decided that I will never ever apply for British citizenship. I will apply for PR, if I am granted it, fine, if not, tough! If I get the PR and eventually I'll be kicked out of this country, fine. I speak 4 languages and ...

I guess that's how the system works, sometimes it works in our favour and sometimes it doesn't Well, think of it this way. My entire immigration journey (as a single person) to ILR cost me about £5000, with each LR renewal costing above £1000 each and the last two coming to about £1800 each. While ...

The what-you-call Maastricht rebels (I think you mean UKIP and various neo-fascist parties like Front National, Lega Nord and other openly dearly beloved fractions in East Europe) have not come up with a rational plan on what they would do once a nation breaks away from the EU. Stay in the EEA? Comp...

Thanks but I am not that convinced. A record of employment from the HMRC won't be an evidence that you have exercised treaty
rights. Correct me if I'm wrong but such letter won't prevent a zealous HO officer from thinking you might have had gaps in your employment.

It will merely be reminding the EU that it started as an economic community and that is the way that some people wish to keep it. Ever closer union is not welcome to all. With due respect Simon, the EEC became a political entity in 1992 when it turned into the EU. The EEC doesn't exist any more. Yo...

Have you contacted local tax office (if you have one) to see if you can get copies of your P60s? There's no such a thing as a local tax office anymore. My case is almost identical to the OP's. I too have lost many of my P45's. I am thinking of writing to HMRC PAYE office in Liverpool and ask for a ...

I believe your partner will lose PR status after two years of absence.

Because I am not sure I couldn't get all my paperwork in a reasonable time.

Also, in the event of unemployment, I wouldn't be able to claim benefits.

Nobody really has any opinion on this topic?

Hello, as explained in my previous posts, I've lost many of my P45's from 1999-2004. From 2004 onwards I have managed to find most of my P45's; however I have a long unemployment gap from 2008-2012 and I fear this could count against me (it all depends on retroactive interpretation of the concept of...
