I get your point.I'm just worried that my original documents will be with the home office for a few months (probably 5 or more). In the meantime the government might decide to give some kind of arrangement based on something different from just a DCPR and I'd have no access to my paperwork.

This is a serious question, no trolling intended. Apart from for the purpose of then applying for British citizenship, if you're an EU national, why go for the painful process of applying for a document certifying permanent residency, now that the UK is going to formalise the process of leaving the ...

Theresa May has made it very clear that until the UK knows what will happen to Brits in EU countries, she cannot say what will happen to EUs and their family members living in the UK using EU rules. Brexit is no doubt going trigger mass migration to the UK over the next two years under EU rules, so...

we dont regret it why are you spreading lies we voted to leave E.U and we are proud to be british and happy and not depending on the E.U dont bank second referendum it will not happen and hope BORIS JOHNSON our prime minister thanks Some posters here are not British citizens and not intending to be...

On the subject of democracy, this referendum was not democratic. Foreign citizens from commonwealth countries were able to vote and with all certainty they have voted leave, while EU citizens who have been here for donkeys years were not allowed to vote. London has more foreign nationals and they v...

I'd be careful with statements such as "it's very likely that...".

The only sure thing is that.... there's no sure thing.

So now UK will leave EU will it affect illegals? would they get amnesty for example? More likely to be put up against a wall and shot. I'm still in shock! For anyone who may be concerned, this is Wanderer's black humour . :roll: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/black-humour That's...

I believe the OP refers to:

Chapter 6.4.1.

The UK doesn't have a universal and unequivocal concept of residency, like in the continent. Who is considered resident for the home office might not be so for the DWP or the HMRC. http://tools.hmrc.gov.uk/rift/screen/SRT+-+Combined/en-GB/summary?user=guest https://www.gov.uk/eea-registration-certif...

Moderation is worse than vandalism.

Wikis are good if maintained and not vandalised. I've seen more than hundreds of good wikis going to the toilet because of no maintenance. There's also to consider that immigration laws change relatively quickly. Not to mention all this house of cards could be blown by impending brexit. Try to maint...

You never get more rights by restricting somebody else's rights.

Again in respect of the rent seeking nature of the UK economy freedom of movement is not benefical. What you probably mean is, because modern economy is no longer based on production, but on creation of money out of this air (quantitative easing, zero interest rates, etc) then people ( workers) are...

Secondly, if the UK were to vote to leave the EU, that would trigger a process, which, as Noetic has pointed out, takes two years. The UK remains an EU member for those two years. So, assuming that we vote to leave, your wife will still be treated as the spouse of an EEA citizen. . Nothing could pr...

Free movement of people should never have been part of the EU treaty. Free movement of people predates the EU. It was already expressed in the European community but it was implemented only in the Maastricht treaty. It's only the British press that moan about the freedom of movement. In Germany the...

Am I wrong to think that without a withdrawal agreement, then EU laws apply until there is such an agreement, or until the UK formally leaves the EU? As per: ‘the Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, t...

The electorate doesn't want facts. They want cheap and simple catchphrases, like: "Turkey will join the EU in October, 12 million Muslims to invade Britain, and YOU pay!" That sort of things.

Yeah and its easier and cheaper to hire Non-EU people than EU nationals Actually it's even cheaper to get job seekers working for free doing so called "work experiences". Who needs poor and smelly foreign workers when you can have fresh British graduates (or dropouts, doesn't matter) for free? Brit...

Permanent residence itself, on the other hand, is basically a right under EU law, and it would require primary legislation to remove it other than as part of the withdrawal process, under which changes would be by agreement with the EU. But, correct me if I'm wrong, the minute after the UK informs ...

Thanks for your contributions.

My understanding is that the UK can legally repeal the 2006 regulations overnight in a Brexit event (however unlikely it might be) and legally suspend the concession of DCPR and /or British citizenship to EU citizens.

OK, let me rephrase my question. What piece of legislation introduced the document certifying permanent residence? And would it become invalid the moment the UK initiates the exit procedure?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36123492 link from beeb wont be available for long.
