Hi there again,

I really need your help, I am a overseas dentist and as you may remember Im trying to get the family permit of an EEA national.

Now I need to understand the following, I want to know

1. what is leave to enter the UK?

2. as a family member of EEA how will I get this enter to leave? if I get it.

3. I am asking that cos I want to know if I am allowed to take up training programme as a dentist.

But in a website they said this,

Non EEA partners of EEA nationals : Cannot normally take up a training programme unless have been granted leave to enter the UK as the partner of an EEA national.

what does it mean? can you please explain to me?

Thanks one again mate.

Regards.

This is a bit of an unprecise statement on the NHS web site. Specifically "leave to enter" is only granted under UK law, which is not relevant for family member of an EEA citizen. You do not need "leave to enter".

You will be 100% fine with your EEA FP. Once you arrive in the UK, the EU citizen needs to be working or self sufficient, and then you can apply for a Residence Card (as family member of EEA citizen).

Do you mean I can take up the training programmes? I dont know why they talk about 'leave to enter" in our case.

Yes.

As the spouse of an EU citizen you can do anything they can do, as long as you are in the country together.

Great Thanks! Just wanted to be a bit prepared with the terms.
