EEA4 question

My wife recently applied for her EEA4 permanent residence permit. What form does this take? I.e. is it a letter, a stamp in the passport, or a plastic card?

Confirmation of PR is a stamp in the Non-EEA nationals passport.

Thanks. Does this stamp have an expiry date?

No this does not have an expiry date, but is valid until the validity of the passport after which either you can apply for the sticker to be placed in the new passport, or always carry your old passport with you along with the new one to prove PR.

It may not have an 'expiry' date but certainly a renewal date. The non-EEA permanent residence
card is valid for 10 years (assuming, of course, no absences of longer than 2 years inbetween).

Thanks. That's a bit annoying. Hopefully in 10 years' time we'll live somewhere else and won't have to go through this again.

digging up this thread - is that an image of the result of the EEA4 application for indefinite leave to remain? i'm curious for university purposes - a course i'm applying for requires, for a scholarship, that you have no restrictions on your stay in the UK, including any tie to a family member (if you split up, you'd have to leave, etc). i've got my EEA4 application in - does the result mean that i am still tied to my family member? as this will mean i can't apply for this scholarship. this kind of visa stamp saying 'no restriction' is what they are looking for.

Renew by applying using EEA4 form (provided the process is same in 10 years).
