Yes chocolateorange88, if you read my post, I have clearly stated I have found and seen the new AN guide. I was specifically asking about the formchocolateorange88 wrote:https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... r_2015.pdf

5th Nov has been extended to 12 Nov (page 14 of the new AN Guide), so likely a new form might be out around that time.
I do not answer for the Home office. But I can see that this move makes administrative sense. At the moment, the naturalisation team, which sits in the Home Office, must not only know UK citizenship law, which is relatively straightforward and precise, but also EU law on PR, which is not only intentionally vague, but also very fluid due to ECJ judgments.Jaeger wrote:Today new versions of Guide AN and Booklet AN were published. They have clearly shortened a list of required documents for EEA applicants. There is nothing about Treaty Tights, just PR document.
So that's an extra burden on Euro Team at UKVI.
Unlikely. EU rules still dictate that documents issued under EEA Regulations must either be free or at cost. Had HMG decided to profit from issuing EEA documents earlier, they would not have held back for so long.Jaeger wrote:Maybe prices of PR documents will go up in April.
It is still as cheap as chips in the EEA Regulations world though.Jaeger wrote:That will be a shock to many EEA applicants who skip PR card part.
"You will need to provide evidence of 6 years continuous residence when you apply for your permanent residence card'' This appears to be yet another Home Office error of information! I assume the intention was to write "when you apply for British citizenship/" Not the PR card which requires only 5 years of continuous residence.monab wrote:Hi all,
I have read carefully the new requirements for EEA citizens under the new form/booklet/guide published 28th Oct/2 Nov.
Nevertheless, it is not clear if they just require you to have a document certifying Permanent residence OR having one and holding it for 12 months?
I have PR status for over 12 months (as you automatically acquire PR after 5 years of treaty rights), but held the document certifying this for only 5 months ( I applied late for it).
Can I still apply for naturalisation now? (before I have a PR DOCUMENT for 12 months)
Any thoughts are welcome, many thanks!
Excerpt from Booklet AN 28 Oct 2015 below:
''If you are a national of a country which is a member state of the EEA or Switzerland, or the
family member of such a person, you will automatically have permanent residence status
after exercising EEA free movement rights in the UK for any continuous period of 5 years
ending on or after 30 April
2006. You should apply for a permanent residence card to prove that you hold that status
before applying for citizenship.
But remember that, unless you are married to or the civil partner of a British citizen, you
should normally have held permanent resident status for 12 months before applying for
naturalisation. This means that you may need to wait until you have been in the United
Kingdom for 6 years before you can apply. You will need to provide evidence of 6 years
continuous residence when you apply for your permanent residence card''
