Hi,
I'm a Lithuanian citizen currently working on a WP in London (the WP expires in 2007). Starting 1 May 2004, Lithuania becomes a member of the EU, and I won't need my WP any more in order to work and stay in the UK. However, the requirement is to register with Home Office in a month (£50, I believe) once a citizen of a new EU member finds a job. I'm on my current job for 2 years already. Also, I planned to apply for ILR in November 2004 (4 years of work in the UK), but now this seems to be irrelevant for me as an EU national. I still hope to apply for UK citizenship in November 2005 (5 years of work in the UK).
So, my questions are:
1) Should I register with the Home Office as a working Lithuanian national, or will they have this info already from my WP?
2) Can I still apply for ILR and is this necessary for me, since I can stay in the UK indefinitely anyway as a EU national?
3) Will I be able to apply for UK citizenship in 2005?
Thank you.
