Not relevant at this stage.drkstr wrote: My spouse intends to be economically self-sufficient (based on my salary and private medical insurance) and will not be working.
None of those are relevant. I have pointed that out just recently. See also the EEA regulations, Section 13.drkstr wrote:- A signed job offer letter, or letter from your perspective employer, which details your salary, start date, and other terms and conditions associated with your employment.
- Bank statements, from the past three months, which show that your EEA spouse has more money than what would be provided by public assistance in the UK. I don't know what that amount is, but I asked a solicitor and was told that the monetary equivalent of 5000 pounds should be more than sufficient. In my case we had quite a bit more than this. The bank statements should be written in English and should be in your spouse's name or a joint account. They should be written on paper with the bank's letterhead if possible. In my case, I had to use internet copies, but I took them into the bank and had them stamped and signed and this was sufficient.
- A letter which declares your intention to purchase comprehensive sickness insurance from a local provider within three months after you arrive in the UK. The letter should mention that the insurance will cover pre-conditions, inpatient and outpatient care, ambulance trips, and emergencies. It is not necessary to purchase insurance before travelling, and it's also not necessary to mention the name of the provider that you intend to use.

That's right. But when the first three month of residence run out you are already in the UK. In other words this is not the business of the visa issuing posts.Nimitta wrote:As far as I understood from reading this forum and other materials (86ti or other gurus can correct me if I am wrong), regardless our intentions and the length of intended stay, UKBA cannot legally request anything but documents listed above until the first three month of unconditional stay run out.
We applied in our residence country - Latvia.86ti wrote:Good point. Which means either way it is outside of their competence.Nimitta wrote: That's right. But when the first three month of residence run out you are already in the UK. In other words this is not the business of the visa issuing posts.
BTW, where did you apply?
Well, yes and no because it's all run by the UKBA now. But the entrance clearance officer should not check whether the EEA national is or will be a qualified person unless that person has already been in the UK for more than 3 months.86ti wrote:Good point.

Exactly that was the conclusion so far. If you read the EEA regulations as linked to above that becomes very clear. The EUN do not claim otherwise either.Laura721 wrote:Do you really need the bank statements? I thought this was irrelevant to the application...as Nimitta said...
Fabulous! I've been working in Spain since September and we plan to start our application after we marry which will hopefully be this Summer. Seems as if getting married here is more complicated than the family permit!!86ti wrote:Exactly that was the conclusion so far.

According to Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006, reg 21 which corresponds Directive 2004/38 (art 27): "an applicant can only be considered a threat to personal conduct of the person concerned must represent a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society". This has been further explained by the European Court of Justice in the Jipa and Tsakouridis cases. The UK authorities must therefore make a case-by-case assessment.Laura721 wrote:Does anyone know where I can find the criteria used to judge whether or nit [sic] an applicant is a threat to public security/public policy?
Thank you so much! Can these people help me also regarding our marriage in Spain? My fiance was in jail in Greece and we now need to find out if his expulsion was just from Greece or from all EU countries. He is convinced it was just Greece but they did not allow him to keep the papers he was forced to sign.EU_lawyer wrote:According to Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006, reg 21 which corresponds Directive 2004/38 (art 27): "an applicant can only be considered a threat to personal conduct of the person concerned must represent a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society".
