Hey Guys
I already have RC for 5 years, and my wife's employer just stopped paying SMP after 10 months of new baby born, she don't have any job atm.
I want to ask how can she exercise treaty rights? So it won't effect my PR which is after two years.

Thanks

A person with PR is exercising treaty rights.

Family members have extended right of residence.

I am sorry Vinny i don't understand, yes my wife already got PR. Does she not need to exercise treaty rights anymore?

I think she continues to exercise treaty rights under Regulation 15.

European Economic Area (EEA) administrative removal wrote:EEA permanent right to reside: resident over 5 years

The EEA Regulations set out that after a period of 5 years of continuous lawful residence in the UK (in accordance with EEA Regulations that were in force during that 5 year period), an EEA national, or a family member of an EEA national, who is in the UK acquires a right of permanent residence that does not require them to be exercising a Treaty right. This right can only be lost through an absence from the UK of more than 2 consecutive years.

Thanks Vinny for the reply.

I want to ask if it will effect my ILR application or PR application? because i have to choose one method to apply for Naturalisation.

If she has PR, then her current lack of job shouldn't affect your PR application.

Indeed.

That is an interesting point you made. It is not only qualified person that are exercising treaty right. A person Residing in the UK with a permanent Right of Residence, is indeed exercising her treaty rights under Article 21 of the Treaty of Lisbon.
