Whether to apply for EEA Residence Permit or Dependent Visa

[adelinesho]

Hi all,

I am Malaysian national and currently under Tier 2 visa working in UK for almost 2 years. I have married 2 months ago in UK to Swedish National who works in the UK. As i now thinking to quit my job to have career break, can someone advise should i apply for EEA Residence Permit from Swedish Embassy in UK or dependent visa from UK Border? How long will the application takes? Tks/

Hi

Apply for a residence card, it's alot cheaper, lasts 5 years and has no Financial requirement.

Hi Flozo,

Thank you for your advise. It seems now that UK Border has implemented new policy which required fee of 55GBP. I think the fee still reasonable at this stage. But do you know what's the average processing time? tks.
