Break in employment and exercising EEA treaty rights
Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2015 7:24 pm
So I'm worried that my brief period of unemployment might be taken as breaking the 5 year qualifying period of exercising EEA treaty rights for permanent residence, I would be able to apply for citizenship in a months time but this little thing I'm afraid might put a spanner in the works:
In 2013 I left my job voluntarily on 7th July wanting to find a different job but before that I wanted to visit my parents abroad between 10-24th July so I flew out of the UK for 2 weeks, then commenced temporary assignments through an agency employer at the very beginning of August. Not sure if this qualifies as a break in treaty rights? I think I have some e-mails of me sending CVs late July, and an agency registration form/contract from 30th July.
I didn't have any breaks in employment besides that and I've never been taking any government support for job seeking or benefits otherwise. Does this disqualify me?
