Were the letters that you mention used to prove treaty rights to UKBA? Because that would be a great simplifaction!

I have just found this paragraph on UKBA: Self-employed earnings within a business or company structure If you have worked in a self-employed capacity in your own business or company structure and have chosen to keep your earnings within the business or company, you could send: business or company ...

Well, I dedicate most of my time to the growth of the company's business but I am not employed by it.

Sure. We design and develop mobile apps

That could be a solution, thanks! But I don't think it's doable for me: I am working full-time for my company and how would I impact on my tax situation? Sounds complicated... I am just going to apply for NIN and the UTR and see with that. My concern is what happens to my wife who has a family ...

Well, the UKBA says: "Economically self-sufficient Evidence that your EEA national family member has comprehensive sickness insurance and funds sufficient to maintain yourself and any family members included in this application during the time you intend to reside on this basis. These funds can come ...

Problem is that I don't have enough on my bank account to prove that I am self sufficient. I am screwed :-/

I am really confused at the moment because I don't understand if as a director I am automatically considered self-employed even if I am not getting money from the company if not in the form of director's loan and dividends...

Got my business bank statement.

I've called my accountant and he is ok in doing the letter.
At the moment I don't have a UTR and neither a NIN. Am I supposed to get one?

Thanks

So you're saying that my accountant should just state that and I should be alright?

My accountant told me that instead of getting a monthly salary I could get money through dividends. In the meantime, we can get money for our expenses as a loan. This would be our way of getting money from the company at the moment. Do you think that having a letter that states that would be enough ...

Should I consider myself self-employed if I am not invoicing the company but earning just a share of the dividends?

Thanks!

And how did you manage to solve the situation?

How does this relate to the fact that the company is just a few months old?

Guys, thanks for the precious information.
I will have my accountant write a letter like that.

The link is very useful even though I feel like being a director is a little different than being a just self-employed...

That's good news. What should the accountant's letter sayy? That I am one of the director/stakeholder and am entitled to part of the dividends?

Sorry about the questions, but I would like to be as sure as possible to not risk a refusal because of the way I have explained my position.

Thanks!

My economic activity is the company. I work full-time for it but I am not employed. Would it be enough if I provide docs that show I am director and shareholder together with invoices of the company showing its economic activity? My fear is that my bank statement would not show payment from the ...

Hi, My wife (American) and me (Italian) moved to London about a month ago. She has a 6 month family permit that will expire in August. I am director and shareholder of a UK limited company, together with other two persons. I was looking into the EEA2 application and wondering what should I provide ...
