which visa to apply in uk if i have perman. visa in germany?

[mabus]

Hello.

I (non-EU) have now been 8 years lived with my German wife and two children in Germany and have the residence permit for Germany, unbefristet permanent visa.

Now we moved to London because my German wife has accepted a permanent job in London.


I entered UK with the eea family permit for 6 months.

Now my question, I have to apply in the UK the residency card (5 years visa) or can I directly apply the Indefenit visa or can i directly apply for british citizenship?
Because I have a permanent visa for Germany and have lived and worked already 8 years in the EU (Germany).

Will my German residence permit revoked it?

Please advice for what i can apply to?

The easiest route will be if you upgrade your German permanent residence into German citizenship/passport like in UK the holder of UK indefinite/Permanent residence status can upgrade it to British citizenship/passport. Otherwise you can apply a 5 years EEA2 residence permit if your EEA national partner start exercising its treaty rights such as working, self sufficient, studying, self employed etc.
