EEA route - latest form to use (short version)

[Martinez83]

Hi All,

my apologies in advance if I am multiplying the thread but I have used search function without any success.

About an year ago I have started my application for EEA permanent residence which - with bit of an advice and help from this forum - I have obtained in August last year.

To apply for PR I have used old but short EEA3 form (with updated payment details from current form) which - as the result shows - was a definitely good choice... And since now is the time for my fiancee to go this road too I am wondering is this form still applicable or has something changed and a new form/new payments details are available?

Once again my apologies if this subject was discussed many times nevertheless - I would appreciate anyone assistance in providing the link if required.

Thanks in advance.

The long 137 page form is now a requirement (since 1st February 2017).

an online application can be made if your fiancee is EEA National.

Correct, though note the exceptions.

Thanks.

Does this form requires you to state your holidays?

If it does then I prefer the paper version - we have been abroad for holidays way too many times in last 5 years to state them all (it would probably take us a day to track all the info through old flight itineraries).

FyI - Obviously never more than 30 days a year...

Nope - latest version only asks you to attest if been abroad for more than 6 months in any of the qualifying years.If you say no, no further absence info to provide.

Evidence advice recently changed as well and P60 forms now accepted as evidence of both employment and residency.
