Hi
We're looking into the EEA Family Permit and have a couple of questions. We are currently living in NZ: I'm a NZ citizen, my partner is a British Citizen and we have two NZ born children. We have been living together for 10 years in the UK and NZ so will have no trouble proving a lasting relationship. We would like to spend a few months in France before moving permanently to the UK to improve our French language and fully immerse our children in French language (very hard to do in NZ!). It appears that an EEA Family Permit is the most appropriate option.
1. Is there a minimum requirement for the amount of time we would need to reside in France before moving to the UK to apply successfully?
2. Would the children be able to attend state school in the UK on a Family Permit?
3. I understand that the permit is for 6 months. Would the children and I have to leave the country to apply for another type of visa after this time?
4. Is there any minimum financial requirement or do you just need payslips of any kind for a certain period?
5. Do the payslips have to be with one employer for the whole time or can you undertake a series of short term positions?
Many thanks for your help!
