OK, so this Brexit thing has freaked me out.

However, I want to tackle this head on and avoid any problems about remaining to live and work here in future.

I am from Slovakia in the EU and have worked here since April 2011. My daughter currently 8yo has been here since August 2012 and in school here in the UK.

I want to start the process to have the right to live in the UK and am not sure whether to apply for a permanent residency permit, apply for British Citizenship or is there an alternative?

I'm unsure about this so any help guidance advice would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!

Have you been working since you arrived? If yes, you should apply for a document certifying permanent residence first. You need this before you can apply for British citizenship.

Remember that Slovakia does not permit dual nationality.

Thank you for the advice.

So which document do i apply with for Permanent Residency? and is my daughter to be included on this?

Thank you again!

Form EEA (PR).

You also need 5 years residency in UK, so you can apply around now (having served 5 years);
- assumng you haven't enjoyed any prolonged absences from UK.

Daughter, your direct family member, will have to wait until 2017 to acquire PR; (you are her sponsor).

You could get daughter a RC in meantime; form EEA(FM).
Its optional but it could be useful if UK brings in any transitional arrangements for Union citizens.
