Comprehensive Sickness Insurance!!!

[dayana173]

Hi, my name is Dayana, I am 19 and I am bulgarian. My situation is I came August 2007 with my family and we apply together for certificates that will allow to work in UK. Board agency gave my father yellow certificate and me and my mother received blue certificates. This year I will apply for ILR but I read that as student I need Comprehensive Sickness Insurance. When I entered UK I was 14 and I have been 2 years in secordary school and after that from 2009 to this year and next year I am in college. I have letter from my secondary school that comfirms that I have been student there for these 2 years and I have from the college the certficates. Do I really need this insurance because I haven't work in UK at all and my parents pay my expenses.

I'll be very grateful for the help. Thank you

Hello Dayana

You mean permanent residence ( pr) which is obtained under the 2004 Directive. ILR is gained under UK immigration rules.

Your parent/s can apply for Permanent residence on form EEA3 and include you on the application as their EEA national family member.

Or you can apply alone, but again it is the proof of your parent's treaty rights that is needed( so they might as well apply too).

That way it is your parent'/s that sponsor you.

It is either or both of them who prove they have exercised treaty rights for five years and they only need to prove you have lived as their family member in the UK for those five years for you to also obtain PR.

There is no need to prove financial dependence if you are under 21.

Proof of comprehensive sickness insurance or foreign ehic cards would only be required if your parents were exercising treaty rights as self-sufficient or students.

So if I undestand right if I apply alone without my parents they will want CSI but if my father include me in his appl they will not ask me for CSI. Thank you for the help

Yes.

He would just put your details in Section 2.

Read through the EEA3 form and you will see what I mean.

Your school and college documents would prove you have been resident.

I know that my father can include me as his EEA national family member but I find a paragraph in a EAA3 form that state:

You must provide either a private comprehensive sickness insurance policy document that covered for medical treatment in the majority of circumstances, or a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) that covered the 5-year period of residence in the UK.

I have this card before to come to UK and it's still valid, my question is can this card be use unstead of comprehensive sickness insurance.
