Hi folks,
Is there a downloadable version of the online application form anywhere? I've seen the vaf5.pdf dated 2013 and I'm unsure if that's the same or different. I really want to prepare myself for filling out the form.
Also does the online forms have such questions as how much savings, stocks and shares and other financial questions, and do I have to answer them? I've some posts of people ignoring such questions but the posts are a year or told and I'm really unsure if I'm finding the most relevent information. In the surinder singh guide for newbies it mentions that some questions are not relevent but frustratingly gives no examples. I wondering if need to seek some professional legal advice before i go ahead and fill out
thanks

Hello! I'm also nervous about filling out the application and I would also like to know if any financial information is needed. Did you ever find a downloadable form? I might make a dummy account to browse the application beforehand but I'm not sure if that is a good idea. Thank you and I wish you luck.

YOU APPLY HERE:

I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW DETAILED THEY WERE BUT MY PARTNER (WHOM I WAS SPONSORING) DIDN'T FILL IN ANY OF THESE. IF YOU CHECK THE FORM AND THEN ASK DIRECT QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT ON HERE I'M SURE SOMEONE WILL ANSWER.
FYI: I'M IRISH AND MY PARTNER APPLIED FOR AN EEA FP LAST JUNE. WE, OBVIOUSLY, WERE NOT DOING SS.
thanks

What is the citizenship of the EU citizen? Are you living with them?
Normally no financial information needs to be provided when applying for an EEA Family Permit

Just apply! The Italian citizen does not have to be in work in the UK for your application to be successful. Your husband has an automatic right of residence for 3 months, after which he should exercise treaty rights by working/being self-employed/being a student with the relevant comprehensive sickness insurance (CSI) or self-sufficient with the correct CSI.
You case sounds straightforward.

You just took a load of stress off of me
Thank you so much. I hope this also answers tastylentil's question.
