Small correction: if the EEA national is a student, only he/she needs CSI (health insurance). Not the family members.rosebead wrote: If your spouse is a student, then he must take out comprehensive sickness insurance for himself and all of his family to be eligible for another EEA2, and he and his family must be self-sufficient on their own funds. You can certainly apply before the expiry date of your current EEA2.
However if you read very carefully the wording of Article 7(1)(c) it would appear the EEA student only needs CSI for just himself, yet at the same time must also have sufficient resources to cover himself and his family. I never noticed that. I have to say it seems rather curious that you have to be self-sufficient as an EEA student, which includes your family, but yet you don't have to have CSI for your family. I guess there is some advantage to being a student then as opposed to being purely self-sufficient under Article 7(1)(b).have comprehensive sickness insurance cover in the host Member State and assure the relevant national authority, by means of a declaration or by such equivalent means as they may choose, that they have sufficient resources for themselves and their family members not to become a burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State during their period of residence
By the way, if your EU husband plans to get a regular part-time job, then he won't need to get CSI for himself or provide proof of sufficient funds for himself and his family. You could then apply for EEA2 on the basis of him being a worker rather than a student.If your EEA family member is a student, you need to provide a school, college or university letter confirming enrolment on the course. You will also need to provide proof that they have comprehensive sickness insurance and a statement from the student
confirming that the student has sufficient resources during the period of study to support him or herself and any family members during the period of study, along with supporting evidence such as a bank statement or evidence of a grant or scholarship. Please note that a Residence Card application can generally only be accepted from the spouse, civil partner or child of the student, or the child of the spouse or civil partner, when the European national is exercising treaty rights as a student. Other family members will generally not automatically qualify for a Residence Card.
