My apologies if this has already been asked but I cannot find anything relating to our situation although a lot of other posts have already answered quite a number of my queries.
My husband is an EU national and we are currently living in South Africa, he is self employed and we are considering expanding the business to the UK which would result in myself and 2 children (4 & 12) relocating with him, I understand that we need to apply for family permits prior to leaving SA and then EEA2 once we are there but I still have a few questions that I can't find the answers to no matter how many sites I visit:
I'm sure I'll think of more questions, I'm finding this all rather overwhelming at the moment but this is a start at least and as I said this site has helped SO MUCH already!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
My husband is an EU national and we are currently living in South Africa, he is self employed and we are considering expanding the business to the UK which would result in myself and 2 children (4 & 12) relocating with him, I understand that we need to apply for family permits prior to leaving SA and then EEA2 once we are there but I still have a few questions that I can't find the answers to no matter how many sites I visit:
- Are there any restrictions to my children entering the education system?
- If our FP is going to expire but our RC applications have been submitted do I need to extend the FP (like a visa) or does the fact that our RC applications have been submitted entitle us with leave to remain until a decision is reached.
- Should we register the business prior to our application along with bank accounts etc? or can we do this once we arrive?
- What are the implications on us in terms of the FP's if he needs to travel between the UK and SA on business initially?
- Since the business is currently South African would the South African financial suffice in terms of proof of us being financially stable or should the business rather be in operation already in the UK before we apply for the FP?
I'm sure I'll think of more questions, I'm finding this all rather overwhelming at the moment but this is a start at least and as I said this site has helped SO MUCH already!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
