EEA workers, self-employed people, & Family Members
Residence and Settling in the UK as EEA national and Dependants
Talk Visa Limited advisors are experienced in advising EEA nationals
(including those from A8 and A2 countries), on their rights and entitlements under
European law. We advise on all areas, from lawful working to rights to being joined
by family members or unmarried partners, whether EEA nationals or third country
non-EEA nationals. We also advise on applications for permanent residence in the
UK.
We advise on rights to remain in the UK following a change of circumstances such
as a marriage breakdown between an EEA national and a non -EEA national and on the
special rights which apply if there are children from the relationship.
Who are EEA nationals?
People who are citizens of countries in the European Economic Area (Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany. Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) and Switzerland have freedom of movement within Europe.
All nationals of all these countries have the right to enter self-employment in
the UK. The rules about employed work, however, are different for the citizens of
the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia
(the A8 nationals), and for citizens of Bulgaria and Romania (A2 nationals).
Citizens of the rest of the EEA and Switzerland, (but not A8 nationals or those
from Romania or Bulgaria), have the right to live in the UK to seek work, as long
as the work is real, and more than 'marginal'. There are a wide
range of rules however which apply to this.
Rights under EEA law is a fast changing area of law. The rules are complicated and
often misunderstood. Contact Talk Visa Limited to ensure that you
receive up to date professional advice on how the law applies to your situation.
Talk Visa Limited are also specialist in representing those whose
applications have been refused and have appeal rights to the Asylum and Immigration
Tribunal and up to the High Court for reviews.
