Hi everyone,
I thought I would start a chain just for EEA PR (not non-EEA PR). This is because I usually take a lot of time to filter through the non EEA PR comments and thought a clean sheet for all EEA would be good.
I applied for EEA PR as a student, job seeker and worker.
After MANY months of chasing people I managed to get the documents I needed to show that I had comprehensive sickness insurance while I was a student. According to my lawyer, you do not need comprehensive sickness insurance for the time you are a jobseeker which is great. To prove my residency as a student I sent letterS from both my universities, bank statements, notary certified confirmation from my parents that they supported me financially and I never relied on the state, bills, tenancy agreement, poll registration, etc. Multiple documents for each year as a student.
However, you can only be a job seeker for 91 days according to the regulation. I found a job on my 71st day of being a job seeker but only started working on the 99th day. I explain that I was just awaiting for my job to commence during the period from when I secured the job (sent email confirmation with contract attached AND employer's letter stating commencement date showing that I did indeed accept and work on that role) therefore I was only really job seeking for 76 days. To prove I was a jobseeker I sent approximately 10 email confirmations of applications, job rejections and interview invitations.
Applying as a worker was relatively easy, gave them 3 P60s, payslips and employers letters. In addition, to a number of bills and bank statements with my address to further prove residency (just in case!).
