Can I still apply online If I am working the last 3.5y but I was a student for 1 year within the 5? Please advice

I am wondering if I can still apply online for the EEA PR if during these 5 years, I was 1 year a student 1 month self sufficient 2 months registered job seeker and the rest 3.5 years until now working full time.

On the website it says you can't if you are a student or self sufficient, I am not a student the last 3.5 years but I was withing the 5.

Thanks in advance

Did you have CSI (comprehensive sickness insurance) or a foreign issued EHIC card while you were a student/self sufficient?

If not, then the time will not be counted towards your 5 years for PR.

Yes I had private insurance. The question is more if you can apply online or need the paper for if during the 5 years you had a year as a student

[CR001]

Either as far as I understand.

Thanks.

I prefer to do the online since its easier, but I wasn't sure because it was saying that you can't if you are a student and I wasn't sure wether this condition was referring to the whole qualifying period (1 year student) or just the current situation.

Do you still believe I can do the online?
