About lost foreign EHIC cards. I’ve had this too, got a letter from my former health insurance company confirming in a letter I had an EHIC Card for certain years. I gave it to a translation agency and attached both with all my documents and can now prove I had foreign EHIC cover. I don't it it so ...

Yes, I did provide info for the last 10 years but the bulk of my work happened prior to 2010.

So ..Just submitted my application and theres that csi issue AGAIN :evil: Thing is- I arrived in UK in 2006, worked on and of (never claimed benefits of any kind) but was covered by health insurance back in my country (held EHIC cardat some point but its long lost now :mrgreen: ) for a period of 4 y...

@ curious man Well, it depends .. If you accumulated a period of 5 continuous/ consecutive years of 'lawful' residence at any point during youre stay in the UK- you don't have to be exercising treaty rights any longer so unemployment or lack of CSI no longer relevant. 'lawful' being : 1)employed 2) ...

For example I was freelancing during tax year 2017-18 but didn't register with HMRC and didn't do self assessment as earnings were too low (but I did in the subsequent year as was earning lots more ) or that won't be classed as genuine self employment ?

i just actually thought of something. So my first entry to the UK was in june 2006 -was employed sporadically (during which time I held european insurance card or whatever that is and never claimed benefits of any sort lol :D ) Then from year 2010 august to june 2011 was in employed full time. Does ...

I think I ought to seek some professional advice as from what I've read experiences seem to differ/conflict

Worst case scenario I'll wait till next year so my qualifying period is fully covered.

I was never employed/self employed for 5 years continuously during the years I've spent in the UK as mainly studied (and never held CSI).

Yes, my spouse was working and did support me. But does British citizen working in the UK (his home country) constitute 'exercising treaty rights'?

I have never achieved PR under the 'old' scheme, but was granted settled status which dos not require CSI.

So since I took a settled status route (which does not require CSI) and will be relying on it when applying for naturalisation is it the case that HO will be disregarding it too ?

That's great news, thank you ever so much guys .
Irony of ironies, Brexit actually made it easier

No, I haven't. Its just I just want gather all the information available and then decide whats the best course of action . I was granted settled status in May 2019 no problem . In my understanding the qualifying period for the purposes of naturalisation is 3 years in my case (since I am spouse of a ...

Just to remind you folks, I am not applying for PR/ settled status here (already have ) but Naturalisation.

Is that so? That's be brilliant news !! I too, have settled status and am married to BC, which means I could apply straight away. It is indeed no longer relevant as when you get ILR/ PR whatever you no longer have to exercise Treaty rights (and yes, EU law still applicable :D ) but how about previou...

Did she hold a 'Comprehensive Sickness Insurance' when she wasn't working?
As it still seems to be one of the prerequisites for what constitutes 'lawful residence'

I have been granted 'settled status' which is tantamount to ILR or PR, HO dont issue cards, just and official letter so that shoudn't cause any problems. I have a record of attending medical appointment so suppose that would be classed as evidence. I dont have any children so no child benefits etc :...

Hi, I am EU citizen who's been granted settled status. I have lived in the UK for the past 12 years without any major absences and am currently married to a British Citizen (we got married back in 2010). I would like to apply for a British citizenship. My concerns are as follow: I was not employed d...
