Applying for residency in the UK for non EEA or Swiss nationals is a voluntary procedure for the applicant. In order for our immigration law firm to process future paperwork and related documentation smoothly and efficiently, it is advisable for a non EEA national to complete the form EEA2 to apply for a residence card, and a permanent residence card can be applied for using form EEA4. A residence card UK confirms that the person is authorised to live in the UK.
In order to qualify for an EEA residence card, the non EEA national must be a direct relation (for example a dependent child under 21, or a dependent parent or grandparent) to the EEA national who is supporting the claim. There are a few types of documentation required when making the claim in order to prove the identity and validity of the claimants, and the following items should be sent with their application. When making an application for residence, the claimant should supply their current passport, along with the valid passport of the EEA family member who is supporting the claim.
Application details
Evidence of the EEA national’s relationship to the non-European family member must be provided. This can be in the form of a birth certificate or marriage licence, and if the claimant has any concerns regarding the type of document required, talking to an immigration lawyer will help the applicant to define the best certification to send. Photographic evidence is also needed in the form of two passport style photographs of the claimant, and the full name of the claimants should be written on the back of the relevant photo. If the person is already living in the UK and is applying for confirmation of permanent residence, evidence of the right to residency will need to be provided.
The family member of the non EEA national is also required to provide a range of information supporting the claim of their relative and themselves. One such type of proof that is required is the ability of the EEA national to financially support the residency of their dependent relative. This can be provided as a bank statement, work contract, or wage slips. The EEA national must also be able to show that the dependant family member required assistance from the national before the immigration process. Any questions that may arise will be swiftly answered by speaking to one of our team of immigration lawyers.
Rest assured

There may seem to be a lot to take in for the applicant, but close adherence to the details and documents that are needed will give the person the best possible chance of making a successful application. The best way to alleviate the frustration of this sometimes lengthy process is to seek the advice of our experts.
