@ justwise

I beg to differ, the OP's question is neither silly nor dumb, he only made a genuine error with the topic. Clearly he wants to cross over to the UK permanently, hence reason he thought he might need a visa to start the initial process, and there is nothing wrong with asking if one is not sure, WHICH WAS WHAT THIS DUDE WAS TRYING TO DO. So like Vicjustice rightly deduced, his query is in line. cool Pele pele di owo yin cool




@EHOST247


What you need depends on you or your family's EU citizenship status, how you acquired it and the Country which granted it.

If you are a citizen of Bulgaria or Romania, you need permission to work.For rights of family members not of EEA extract, see next paragraph below.

If you are a citizen of Czechoslovakia, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Slovakian or Slovenian national, you will need to register under the Worker Registration Scheme.  Your family members who are not EEA nationals cannot apply for a residence card until you have continuously been employed in the UK for 12 months,but they can apply for a family member residence stamp.

If you are from anywhere else in the EEA or Switzerland, and you are working or self-sufficient, you have right of residence, your family(wife/other, children, grandparents) can join you in the UK too. You can request for a Registration certificate if you wish,but it is not compulsory. Other dependants who are not EEA nationals who can prove they are "dependent" on you, can join you too, but would need to apply for a Family Permit in their home Country or the UK Embassy wherever they are, and if successful would be issued a residence card when they get to the UK.


After you have lived in the UK for a continuous period of five years, not being absent for more than 6 months each year, you can apply for confirmation of your permanent residence. You will need to have been in employment, self-employment, studying or self-sufficient in the UK throughout the five-year period, then you would be issued your permanent residency document, whilst your family member who are not EEA nationals will be endorsed with a 10 years endorsement on their passport.

You can opt out of work and equally choose to study or go on benefits too, its your prerogative cool  


SUMMARY -YOU DON'T NEED A "VISA" TO COME AND STAY IN THE UK, HECK YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A VISA TO COME AND VISIT LIKE YOU ALREADY KNOW wink AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH, BRITAIN IS THE DXLEXIA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, ABOUT 6 IN 10 GRADUATES LEAVE UNIVERSITY UNABLE TO SPELL COHERENTLY, MORESO US NIGERIANS FOR WHOM ENGLISH IS NOT OUR MOTHER TONGUE, NOTHING DO YOU cool

It is going to be 5 years next month that i have been frequenting the Travel section on NL, so trust me when i tell you there is no trick in the book anyone such as posters like this can throw that would sway me, i have seen it all wink


LET ME SUMMARISE THIS FOR YOU
I saw the original post. The subsequent ones he modified it to, did nothing to cover his tracks too. The bottomline though is that it is obvious he wasn't enquiring about[i] "visa to visit" aka "leave to enter"[/i] but "visa to stay" aka "leave to remain", more examples include "visitor's visa to visit temporarily"/spousal visa to stay permanently, all in all, visa na visa, hence reason i said the problem was with his choice of the word - VISA wink Hence he has not said anything wrong in either the original post or the modified one to warrant these insults cool

What is dumb in mistaking a "resident permit" for a "resident visa"?

What is dumb about asking questions about his right as a EU permit holder seeking "leave to enter/remain" in UK? 

What is dumb about seeking greener pastures and wanting to cross over permanently to the UK from Europe?

If you are perfect and have never made any mistake with words nor sought greener pasture elsewhere in life, feel free to respond cool

How can any EU citizen ask this question: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa ?

An EU citizen looking for visa to visit another EU country? Even when i provided the homeoffice link to him he still want to know how to go about it.

This is not about "resident visa, leave to remain" in UK or cross over permanently to the UK from Europe.

I never claimed to be perfect and will never do, but when i ask a dumb question feel free to call me one.

   Thanks man.

   Now let me clarify things. The poster never mentioned that he's an EU citizen, i have record of his first post. He wrote just two words to follow up his main question which was the original title of the thread and it went thus (unedited):

How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Ireland and Us Visa

                                       "Please comment"
   With this post, i understand the poster is a Schengen residence permit holder who desires to relocate to any of these countries; the UK, Ireland or the USA, and he wanted to know how easy it is for him (a holder of a Schengen Residence permit) to get migrant visa for these country. No where did he say that he's an EU citizen.
   Honestly, i feel sorry for him for the unfair treatment that he received for wanting to know what he didn't know.

Like i have been saying if you can get over yourself for once and pay attention, all you have to do is swap the "visa" in the topic to "permit" and hey presto, the matter is solved. Mind you, the link you provided in your advice below is for people who wants to join their families in the UK which is in no way applicable to this case, HENCE YOUR ADVICE IS WRONG.

And if you cannot deduce the "need" in the OP's post that what he wants is to cross over to UKto get his Resident Permit and cannot give the correct advice based on this, but rather instead insult them, then perhaps you should stick to what you are good at - fishing out scammers cool

  Yes, he said he does hold an EU [b]residence permit
(which i understand to be from a Schengen state), but he never claimed to be an EU citizen: Residence permit is like Leave to Remain, it's not the same thing as citizenship. I took keen note of his very first post hence i was surprised to see someone called him dumb and others calling him silly. Poor man sad .

SMH undecided What an analogy undecided Quit making a JACKASS of yourselves, an Eu resident permit does not mean one is a EU National/Citizen. It is exactly what it says on the tin - RESIDENCE PERMIT. He could have gotten it as a result of being the dependant of someone in the EU, yet still has his nationality as Nigerian until he fulfils the necessary residency requirement to qualify for full citizenship. READ UP ON IT cool

And thanks for letting us know you have ILR, let us know further once you are done cashing it at the bank, then maybe it will give us too the incentive and spur us Yabaleft citizens to go and apply for visa with our Yabaleft passport cool

Dear, Justwise,
  You seem not to understand what EU Residency means. . . Like i explain before, it is a Schengen version of the Idefinitely Leave To Remain or the Stamp4 (as Ireland has it). This residence permit (which some call the Green Card) is only valid for travelling freely within the Schengen states where the holder is entitled to stay for up to 3 months for visiting or tourist purpose, (you can't take a job in another country with it except in the very country that issued it to you). It does not entitle you to enter the UK or Ireland without an entry clearance or a visa.
