PR EEA citizen broken residency?

Post by Raff113 » Mon Jan 23, 2017 7:36 pm

Hi all hope you are well.
I am asking on behalf of my mate who wants to apply for PR. He is EEA, residing in the uk since 2007,WRS done on time, never without the job. Back in 2012 though his contract did require him to work abroad (Italy) for about 8 months. He still was employed by UK company paid taxes here etc. He is worried that his residency might have been broken because of that? Many thanks for your help!

Should be fine.

If friend had not already acquired PR by 2012 (before he travelled) then rock-solid evidence of the one-off exceptional reason for absence will be required.
As per our friend, Regulation 5:

If he had acquired PR by then then a mere 8 month absence will not have terminated his PR status.
