Hello, I First Arrived To The Uk In 2007, Studied Full Time Until 2011 And Then Worked Full Time

Hello, I first arrived to the UK in 2007, studied full time until 2011 and then worked full time from January 2015 to date. My question is, do I need to provide travel details/supporting documentary evidence for the period 2007-2011, or would it be sufficient to only include documents for the last 5 years (which could make the application considerably more straightforward.

Public Answer

Thank you for your question. We presume that your query relates to applying for a EU permanent residence Card. If that is the case then you will need to provide evidence that you have been exercising your Treaty rights for the past five years. This could be in the form of pay slips, bank accounts, course acceptance documents etc. For the period you were a student you will also need to show you had Comprehensive Sickness Insurance.
