EEA2 - contractor via an Umbrella company

Post by sog2k7 » Fri Aug 10, 2012 8:06 pm

I am an EU citizen and I'd like to sponsor my wife's residence card.

When we arrive in the UK I'll be working as a contractor, in a 9-month contract via an Umbrella company.

How should I fill my EEA2 form? Should I use the "Employment" section? Or the "self employed" section? I think I won't be able to provide the evidence requested if I choose the "self employed" section.

If the "Employment" section is more appropriate, would the Umbrella be my employer? Or the end client? I'm confused...

Has anyone been through this scenario before?

Thanks

John

You will be employed, and the umbrella company will be your employer.

Thanks John.

So wherever it's asked in the form about my employer, I should point to the Umbrella, is that right?

Will the Umbrella give me the letter signed and dated, stating that I'm employed by them? Is this a common practice?

Thanks
