From ICT long term to Italian citizenship
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:03 pm
Hello,
As already clarified in another topic, I hold an ICT long term staff visa issued in August 2011, therefore I can stay in the UK for 5 years max.
However, my husband is Italian descendent and he's in process of acquiring his citizenship, which will happen around mid-2014. At the moment he's in the UK as ICT partner visa.
How's the procedure at the moment he gets his italian passport? How do we 'switch status' to EEA resident before UKBA? Do we even need to do anything or can we just keep living here as italians and let the ict visa expire by itself?
What should happen in our working contracts with our employees? Do they have to 'fire' us and hire again as italians or amend the contracts?
Thanks a lot!!
