***EEA3 - do I have to send all bank statements ?

[lad2777]

I am applying for EEA3 - I am Polish (member of EU), been living in the Uk on my own for 6 years and wanna apply for permament resident

- no family, no wife no one in the uk except me, employed (not self employed)

my question is do I have to send all bank statements from 5 years back with completed form? or people who are self employed have to send bank statements? I dont really understand if I have to send them.

problem is if I have to send them, then on my bank statements are much higher amounts of cash paid in then I earned at my previous employer.

I dont want to get in trouble because of that, employer always gave me cash and each time I paid in at the branch, there is no single cheque from employer. Now I don't what and why they check banks statements. i am afraid that if I send my bank statements they will see much lower amount of salary on contract and big amounts of cash paid onto my account by me?

help please, how do they check it, do I have to send all bank statements, what to do in my situation?[/b]

You don't needs to send all bank statements just send 3-4 per year for past 5 years as proof of address and the u needs to send p60 for 5 years and recent wage slips that's all don't worry about low or high deposits they will just check dates

thanks for a reply

one more problem related to these bank statements is that

as over last two years I worked part time and earned tax free allowance (100 a week) , so My employer didnt have to give me any payslips and P60 and P45 because of that.

I have a contract stating 100 salary and confirmation letter from that employer that didnt have to provide P60 and P45 for that period of time. so it should be ok

but i am worried that if I send bank statements, then the person sees that situation, so the person might check my statements and there are higher amounts then 100 a week paid by cash by me, so no idea if it can happen?


help thanks

but there is no answer over there to my question and problem

Well 100 per week is not a problem at all, but its not true you don't get p60 or p45 for that even if you work one hour and earned £6 you will get p60 in April and if you leave job before 5th April then u get p45 so you must need to get p60 it's very important, you don't need previous wage slips just send recent 4 wage slips with letters from employers to confirm 5 years employment and but they may ask you p60

Even if you just send 5p60 with recent wage slips it will be enough

Don't worry about higher amount they not bother they just need to check dates on bank statement that you been living in uk or u can send utility bill instead of bank statements

What is exactly your problem , do you wish to apply for Citizenship or what.

If that is your ultimate aim, then you dont need to apply for PR.

Subject to you passing the life in the UK test and having a clean record, you could apply for naturalisation directly.

thanks nidaulhaque for help

I received a written confirmation from HMRC that if you work for 1 employer and earn 100 a week tax free allowance your employer doesnt have to provide any payslips P45 and P60

so thats why my employer didnt provide these for two years, from that employer I have a contract stating 100 a week, plus confirmation letter that i worked for and employer explained that i earned 100 so no P45 / 60, plus I want to attach that HMRC letter confirming that none of employer has to provide P45 60 if 100 earned a week

now I am worried, if I add statements for those two years, they will have a look that I dont have P45 60 as earned 100 a week, then they will check bank statements and there are higher amounts of cash paid in by me, (no cheques from employers)

please tell me what you think about this situation as Im not sure what they check on bank statements and if they can check fact I earned 100 in my case with no p45 thanks

but there is no answer over there to my question and problem

Why not?

The questions asks - do you need to submit bank statements (which is exactly your question). And the answer in the text says - No. You can prove residence by other ways.

but I wrote more under question box to explain and my case is specific

[Jambo]

But you don't need to send bank statements or payslips (a letter from employer is OK instead) so what's the issue?

I read that letter from employer is not enough and in my case due to low earnings (tax free 100 a week) employer didnt have to give me P45 /60/payslips, so the bank statements are the only prove except that confirmation letter, but bank statements show that I paid in by cash much more then 100, so they might ask me how come?

how many statements should I send in my case then?

thanks

Yes exactly u don't need to send bank statement u can send utility bills or other documents to prove your residancy,
Well I never heard that if ur wage is less the 100 u don't get p60 nor wage slip I tought it's a legal requirement do confirm again otherwise u will be in trouble , u may be right

[Jambo]

You can send as many as you wish. My advice is not to sent any and prove residence by other means (utility bills, tenancy agreements etc).

U mean to not send any bank statements? but I dont have any other proves

if I dont have any utility bills - will I have to send 12 bank statements for that time so they can I lived at that address or only a 4-6 bank statements for 1 year?

plus I got a confirmation letter from employer I worked at that time

Just send 3-4 per year no need to send 12

thanks for your contribution!

I am now confused, lets start from the bigining

worked as a live in waiter, part time, salary tax free 100 a week, so in that case no P45/60/payslips/dont have utility bills as it was a live in positions. I have only letter from employer to confirm employment and residency at that address for that period of time 2 years.

so I think letter might not be enough, so thinking to add bank statements, but on these bank statements cash paid in is significantly higher then I eared 100 a week

[nidaulhaque]

In this case I think add let's says 6 bank statements to prove residancy for 2 years don't worry about deposites

except letter confirmation of employment to cover 5 years do they actually need other documents to cover every 60 months of residency (like for an example 30 payslips, 30 bank statements) or just some to prove like 20 payslips and 20 bank statemets
