I vantaggi di ottenere una carta di soggiorno permanente dell'UE
An EU Permanent Residence Card proves your right to employers, landlords and government officials that you have obtained permanent residence status in the UK.
To assist you in understanding the process of obtaining an EU Permanent Residence Card, we have outlined some key facts and benefits of obtaining a Permanent Residence Card below.
- Prova dello status di residenza - Prima che un cittadino dell'UE diventi residente permanente nel Regno Unito, deve essere una persona qualificata, cioè un dipendente, un lavoratore autonomo, uno studente, un pensionato o un autosufficiente da almeno cinque anni. Esistono inoltre potenziali difficoltà nell'ottenere fondi pubblici (soprattutto con l'attuale politica governativa) prima della scadenza del periodo di cinque anni. Acquisendo la Carta di soggiorno permanente, si può essere più tranquilli nell'esercizio dei diritti previsti dal Trattato e si può accedere ai fondi pubblici in caso di necessità;
- UE (PR) e cittadinanza britannica - Da novembre 2015, i cittadini dell'UE che desiderano richiedere la cittadinanza britannica devono essere in possesso di una Permanent Residence Card e presentarla insieme alla domanda.
- Family members, extended family members, same-sex and unmarried partners of an EU national – If you have acquired a Permanent Residence Card it is easier to show officials that you are a ‘settled person’ for the purposes of bringing non-EU family members and unmarried or same-sex partners to live with you in the UK;
- Removal and Deportation – In removal and deportation cases, the decision maker will take into account whether a person has acquired permanent residence in the UK. The Home Office can only deport you on serious grounds of public policy or public security if you hold permanent residence status.
- Protection and Immigration Status – and finally as the people of the United Kingdom have voted to leave the European Union, if you have obtained a document certifying your right to permanent residence in the UK, you may be better protected to remain in the UK indefinitely. The changes of immigration policy and legislation if the UK government legally and formally exits the EU are still unknown. However, as an EU national with a Permanent Resident Card, you will have peace of mind that you won’t need to evidence your right to permanent residence should the UK exit the EU and you can apply for British citizenship after 12 months.
