EEA2 and deifinition of EC rights

[osiris]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not EEA2 entitles "EC rights"?
Currently, I have provisional General Medical Councl (GMC) registration, but would like to convert this to full registration to increase work oportunities. I graduated from medical school in Ireland, and looking at the GMC site, was wondering if I qualify as one with EC rights using the EEA2 residence stamp as proof.

Contact GMC and ask them. In the pdf in that link you posted, it says that your marriage should have taken place before the EC spouse acquired the right. What is up with that? Also correct me if I am wrong, but it was my understanding that you need 12 months of internship to get full registration.

But from what I read, you do look eligible. Cant be sure until GMC says so as well.

thanks for your comments doc!

I've done my internship in Ireland a good few years ago!

I have emailed the GMC, but their response was to contact an immigration lawyer specializing in EC rights.

I must deomonstrate that I hold European Community Rights under article 11 of regulation 1612/68 EC.

If you have an EEA2 stamp, it is because your EU family member is working or studying or otherwise exercising "EC treaty rights". (Hmm... then again you can also get one if you are independently weathy, which I do not think counts as exercising treaty rights).

EEA2 stamp exists only since April 2006, so it did not exist when the GMC document was written.

Osiris.. if you are reading this, I just wanted to bring to your attention that article 11 of regulation 1612/68 EC is no longer a valid EC law!
