I can't specifically comment on your scenario but perhaps the information/absence calculator on this link may be of use: https://www.the3million.org.uk/absence-calculator Thank you @alterhase58. Unfortunately the calculator only calculates the days I've been absent but doesn't explain if my 2 year ...
Hi, Basically you're a non-UK tax resident, you hold a valid pre-settled status but are currently resident in Italy and I'm guessing also paying tax in Italy? Are you working for a UK company and is this why your salary goes to your UK bank account? My concern is that even if you maintain your pre-...
Hi all! I'm an Australian, who was granted pre-settled status and the right to work in the UK until Jan 2025 (after living in the UK since 2014). After the pandemic hit last year, my Italian partner (who has settled status) and I decided to leave and move to his home town, which happened in July 202...
Wow this is much broader than i realised, with NINO records and that. Sorry just catching up on all the helpful discussion, so hopefully I'm following correctly. Thanks for everyone's input! From what I've understood from the discussion here, its my ability to qualify for settled status that is impa...
I have not seen a box were people are asked to confirm they have not been absent from the UK for more than 6 months. Is this on the landing card, thats presented to border control? I know they are asked to provide evidence of their residence. Would it be possible to use the share code, from the pro...
This is not the case for non-EU family members, since a tiny but important difference applies: if the non-EU national breaks their residency period, but their EU sponsor family member does NOT, then there is a window for them to still come back to the UK as a "joining family member" withi...
OK, seems relying on NI to argue continued residence won't help you here, because of this and because of JB007's point above, sorry. No worries, thanks anyways! Its all a bit confusing, as it seems that immigration residency and tax residency seem to be different things. Whilst HMRC have deemed me ...
@kamoe I know you have said before about using the NI even though they have been outside the UK for more than 6 months, but... "The applicant simply needs to self-certify they’ve spent no more than six months outside the UK in any 12-month period. This suggests a more relaxed approach to absen...
Has your employer continued to contribute to your UK National Insurance, and have you continued to pay UK tax and National Insurance in the UK while you work in Italy? So I've been continuing to pay UK tax and NI since i left last year. But I've now been deemed a non-UK tax resident, for this tax y...
Hi all. This platform has been a great help to me over the past few years and I would like to reach out again for some advice. Unsure if this is the right place for my question, so please let me know if not! I am Australian and have been living with my Italian partner in the UK since 2014. I was gra...
Hello ALKB, thank you so much for your response. Apologies for my delayed reply. I think i now understand what you mean by "the EU national can be seen as an EU national in their own country and can use EU freedom of movement rules to move to their home country instead of the stricter domestic ...
I've realised i have posted this in the European forum, not the UK no-tiered forum as i thought. D'oh! So on that note, I have been reading about how to live in Italy with my unmarried partner and it seems I need to obtain a "long-stay visa" and then apply for a residence permit, once i'm ...
Thanks for your advice @ALKB! You're right, the plan to travel back and forth between London and Sardinia fortnightly is ridiculous, even in non-pandemic circumstances, its not feasible and unsustainable on all fronts. The link you shared was helpful, however it lead me onto this page: https://www.g...
Hi @ALKB, thank you so much for your detailed reply. OK so I think I understand, as it stands, in my current situation, the only legal route I'd have to relocate to Italy would be to a)get married and apply for a spousal visa in Italy or b)obtain a work visa in Italy via employer sponsorship. Howeve...
Hello! Hope everyone is well and keeping safe during these strange times. I'm in need of some advice regarding a bit of a complex situation regarding immigration for both the UK and Italy. I had hoped to post in both the "UK non-tier" and "immigration to other countries" forums a...
Thanks everyone. So I take it the Tier 3 doesn't actually work anymore (just read that it's for unskilled migrants but never actually came into effect)? Unfortunately I don't have any UK ancestery - any other plan b suggestions? I am not university qualified nor do I have any specialist skills. Coul...
I am currently allowed to reside in the UK on a residence card as the unmarried partner of an EU citizen, with both of us living and working full time in London. Although our relationship was durable when applying for the approval to stay, I am now in doubt and looks like we are on the verge of brea...
Hi everyone, Been stalking this forum for a long time thanks to everyone who posts, so helpful. I applied for EEA EFM on March 3rd so nearly at the six month mark but haven't heard back yet. I've got a holiday booked to leave on September 7th and am getting nervous I won't have my passport back in ...
Hi PeatD The Home Office uses DX to deliver the RC and Royal Mail to deliver your documents (they will arrive separately). I changed address around 3 months before receiving my RC, and filled the change of address form. In the end they actually sent my RC and documents to the new address, it didn't...
Hi @barbapapa & Nazar jan123, you'll need to email nweurocoarequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to request your COA if not received yet. COA stands for Certificate of Application. And as mentioned in this forum, is supposed to be issued after your biometrics enrolment. but looking at this forum, many...
hi everyone, I'm stil waiting on my RC approval, timeline as below. But i am now moving house in the next week. I was planning to set up a mail redirection via Royal Mail, but I've just read that this does not cover courier deliveries. And reading through the forums it seems that DX is the main cour...
Has anyone who submitted their application in February, received anything back yet? Any news? My timeline is: EEA_EFM Application sent: 20/02/16 (as unmarried partner of EEA national) Payment deducted: 26/02/16 Biometric letter received: 03/04/16 Biometric enrolment completed: 05/04/16 Requested pas...
Minor correction, I meant to say as of *July 28 I still don't have my passport back (not June) PeatD, your experience is basically what I was preparing myself for, that I had 100% certainty I'd have to use the chaser-form after 10 working days, but unfortunately I fully expected to receive the pass...
