The only reason I did ask this question is because from mouth to mouth some people I know said that it could be possible. When reading the guidance books for naturalization it says that the applications should be made 12 months after acquiring the PR. But saying that if you don't leave for 90 days t...

I was just wondering But thanks for clarifying that...

Hi there, 1 year after somebody gets the PR(EEA) document, somebody can apply for naturalization if he meets all the other requirements like good character, not being outside the UK for more than 90 days etc etc. I was just wondering...Could somebody apply for naturalization 3 months earlier if he d...

Thanks guys for clarifying that

Hello, Nojathan, aaaaaah now I understand what you mean. Yes I am aware of that, I do already hold a PR(EEA) card because of that reason. In last November they made it compulsory to hold a PR card. In terms of treaty rights, do you agree with what Simon says above that I don't need to prove that I a...

Hi again, Secret.Simon, it makes sense what you are saying. I had the same thing on my mind, but I couldn't find that anywhere written down formally. Do you maybe have a link of a goverment's website, where I can find what you are saying? I mean not in the exactly same words, but roughly... Noajthan...

Hi guys, Thanks first of all the help I get from this forum. Does anybody know if there is any requirement before applying for naturalization after obtaining the PR as an EEA national? Apart from the fact that I should not leave the UK for more than 90 days. What I basically what to ask is, would I ...

Thanks guys

Hi there,

Thank got I got the blue one, that all EEA nationals get .

So I realise that I am the only EEA national with a Biometric passport, that had to enrol his biometrics in the UK to get the PR (EEA). Really strange

Thanks

Hi there, No I did't complete the biometrics section in the PR application for EEA nationals. To be honest though, because after 2 months I did send my PR (EEA) application, I never receipt any email/letter of acknowledgement of application, I did call the Home Office's number (sorry I don't remembe...

Hello my friend, So just to clarify. You do have an EEA passport with NO biometrics registered in your home country. But you didn't tell us, do you have a PR document? I am a bit confused now, because I do hold an EEA (Greek) passport with biometrics, but at the same time the Home Office did ask me ...

Hi there, The reason why I am asking about PR for EEA nationals, is because I have realised today that the PR document I do hold as an EEA national is differently to the PR that an Indian friend of mine holds. Basically PR documents for EEA national is different to PR for people from overseas. Do yo...

Hi guys, I really appreciate your replies, thanks. Whether the UK leaves the EU or not, is another question/topic. What I wanted to get out of this question, is what you think is going to happen to people holding a PR as a EEA nationals. I was googling around and asking a lot of people the same ques...

Hi guys, I hope all of you are fine :) Just a quick question: What does exactly the permanent residence document offer to an EEA national besides the first big step before applying for a British passport after 12 months? For both cases, if the UK stays within the EU or decides to leave. I am quite c...

Thanks

nojathan it is a Yes to both

Thanks guys, I feel more comfortable now to make the application.

Just a last question, would it be to much writing also a cover letter explaining things?

I will agree with you oathkeeper.

I was suspicious that this is case, them trying to deter you from applying for PR and Naturalization. Thanks for confirming that to me

Thanks a.s.b.o for the link :) The reason basically why I was asking this question is because I did call the Home Office twice. I did explain my situation to them and both employees gave me a different answer: The one guy told me it's OK being unemployed and receiving benefits for up to 6 months, wh...

Thanks

Hey secret.simon, hahahaha I completely forgot that UK is also having a referendum in due course about staying or not in EU. Anyway I agree with your opinion about the EU and the Euro. Anyway, going back to my case. Yes, I was reading that after being "legally" resident for 5 years I shoul...

Yes.

Hi oathkeeper,

I am basically from Greece and maybe in a couple of years Greece will not be part of the EU things are dangerous nowadays with Greece...

What do you mean not answering the question? Did I say something wrong?

Hi guys, I would very much appreciate if you could help me with that, since I am struggling for more than 3 months with this issue and I didn't get a concrete answer by anybody. As an EEA passport holder, during my 5 years of presence in the UK, I was 5.5 months unemployed with 3 months receiving in...

Sorry I am just asking in detail because my question hasn't been answered Thanks for copy pasting the most common questions asked, but I just need to confirm if when I was receiving benefits after my studies, I was still a 'qualified person' .

Thanks

Thanks for your reply,

So assuming that I am an EEA national with 1 year studying, 6 months looking for a job and receiving benefits, and 3.5 years working, do you think I am entitled to apply for British naturalisation? Or because I was claiming benefits it was uining my treaty rights?
