Can EU Permanent Residency (PR) be revoked or cancelled?
Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2017 12:55 pm
Dear all,
I have a query regarding PR (Permanent Residency)
Details:
- Someone who is an EU national
- Has lived legally in the UK for about 7+ years
- During all the time living in the UK, has been working legally
- Has never applied for a Resident Card or Permanent Resident certificate
- I understand such a person would automatically acquire Permanent Resident status as they would have lived in the UK for more than 5 years whilst being a worker
Questions:
1 - If this person was to get a job outside of the EU, therefore leave the UK (not forever; maybe a few years, but always with the intention of coming back), would they loose their PR status?
2 - Once someone has acquired PR status, are there any rules they have to adhere to in order to keep their PR status, for example to remain in the UK for a number of days per year etc. ? (I have tried looking for any such rules or guidance but can't seem to find anything)
Thanks
