A COA is a receipt given on application for a residence card. An EU family member can work provided the EU national complies with the residence requirements set out in directive 2004/38/ec.yummy wrote:an eu family member can start work on arrival in the UK , straight apply for a national insurence nr . thats it .
I think COA is an ID just for confirmation because the passport is at home office .
Visa sticker ll be enough for your wife to start work or COA ( confirmation of application )would be her ID untill you get your passport back from home office .. Thats all what i think is right as i am going through the same situation
An EEA family permit is not necessary. You can choose to apply for one if you believe it to be convenient. The choice is yours.davidg wrote:I'm not sure it would be a good idea not to get an EEA family permit, the main reasons being:
- The UK Border Agency's policy is that everyone should get one
- My spouse cannot make a EEU2 application until I have been exercising treaty rights (>3 months)
- The application itself could take months
- Without a EEA family permit, the National insurance number staff are going to be difficult regarding her right to work
- the EEA family permit will allow immediate access to the NHS in case of emergency
