In recent times, the
Brexit decision to leave the EU has caused high levels of anxiety among EU
citizens and their family members in regard to their residence in the UK. If
you’re planning to make EEA Family Permanent Residency application, it is
important to understand the scenario thoroughly to arrive at the right decision
that would cause minimum hassle and maximum results.

Permanent residence simply
refers to the right of living permanently in a Member State irrespectively of
whether the holder of the status is using Treaty rights as a worker, self-employed
person, self-employed person, student or family member of one of these
brackets. Generally, the first five years of residence are based on being a
worker etc., but after that the person can lose their job, restrict economic
activity or cease being a family member but still be allowed to live in the
Member State respectively.
Now, it becomes quite
clear that a non-UK EEA national will automatically get eligible for EEA Family Permanent Residency after spending five years
in UK while practising their Treaty rights and meeting the Citizen’s Directive.
If the EEA national manages to do so, he or she can apply for a permanent
residence card as mark of ownership of this right.
There won’t be any need to
apply for a permanent residence card in a bid to hold the right of permanent
residence; the card would just act as a proof. In addition, for general
purposes many people may well choose to apply for a permanent residence card in
order to obtain proof that they hold the right and as a material of ease.
There comes an extra
reason why a person might decide to apply for a permanent residence card:
because he or she is not confident whether he or she does hold the right and he
or she wants approval one way or the other. The attainment of permanent
residence can be fairly complex in few cases, for example where there are holes
in employment or self-employment, earnings have been extremely less or the
person wants to count on what are known as “retained rights of residence”. In
most of the cases, though, it is pretty much simple.
In order to obtain the
proof, the best way is to seek the help of a professional who can understand
your situation and give the right advice on further steps. There are many legal
firms out there that are ready to help you out in regard to your application.
