Post by FeatDavid » Tue Nov 22, 2016 1:21 am

Hello I dont know much about immigration and I have come here for help I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread. So my partner is a Holland national and she wishes to live in England with me permanently she is also carrying my child will she be able to stay permanently in the UK with me once the child is born as I cannot stand the thought of not being with them.

Thanks,

David

If she is a Dutch national (and thus an EEA citizen), she can come to live in the UK without issues. At least for the moment, no one knows what is going to happen after Brexit...
She will enjoy an initial 3 month right to reside where she can do what she wants, after that she needs to be a qualified person who is exercising treaty rights.
If she is not working in the UK, she could for example exercise her treaty rights as self-sufficient. To do this, she needs enough money to support herself (either through savings or your salary for example) and private health insurance cover in place (NHS doesn't count).

In which case follow LilyLalilu's advice if entering as an EEA national.

However if you have minimum income of £18,600 p.a (or substantial savings over £16,000 to make up any shortfall) you may want to consider marriage and then applying under the UK Immigration Rules. It's a more expensive route but offers a more reliable option for obtaining permanent residence (ILR) in the light of uncertainty after Brexit
