No, a Singapore ID Card will not work here, only European ID Cards are accepted in the EU.sensiblejunglist wrote:Having just read the EEA2 form, it says "valid Identifiation required - Passport or ID Card". It says the same thing on the document checklist at the back of the form. Passport or ID card
Is it possible to submit my Singapore ID Card, and an embassy-certified copy of my passport? So I retain my passport for travelling in the meantime.
I would only do that if you have a lot of time. Getting your passport back does not seem to be easy at the moment, there have been a few reports lately that it may take a month or so.sensiblejunglist wrote:Should I send in the application with my passport, THEN request it back with a note saying I need to use it for traveling?
I just send a normal copy. I do not think that a certified copy is worth the effort, since the UKBA wants to see the original anyway.Or can I just send in the application with a certified copy of my passport + a note saying "call me when you are ready to process my application and I'll send it over"?
Yes, a European ID card is sufficient. Although actually you can also just send a copy of that, too, because without your passport they will ask for the original anyway.sensiblejunglist wrote:Can my wife submit just her ID Card? Because she'd need her passport for visiting Brazil, and her travel plans aren't so flexible.
Yes, unfortunately neither the form nor the caseworkers are very reliable. And by the time your application is being processed, everything may be different again, or they may still take ages after they request the originals. But for now that seems to work pretty well, and you will only be without your passport for 4 weeks or so.The forms say one thing regarding supporting documents, but the ECOs might say another (its happened before, when I applied for the EEA Fam Permit)
