Dear members,

I have a question I unable to find a solution to. I am posting here in the hope someone else had a similar issue.

- I am EU national
- I am currently studying full-time in the UK
- I have done so for the last 6 years
- I have been registered with a GP for the last 6 years too.
- I have a bank account in the UK that I opened using my UCAS/University letter 6 years ago

All this seems great in order to apply for Permanent Residency, but unfortunately I do not have an official proof of address. I have lived with a friend for 5 years during my undergraduate that did not register me for council tax exemption and have no bills to prove my residency.

Would the GP letter and my full-time status would be enough to prove my residence?

I also have some pay-as-you-go mobile phone invoices and a letter from the consulate certifying my address for the last six years.

Any advice on what I should do? Should I also include my 'unofficial' mobile phone statements and the consulate letter?

Thank you all in advance for your time!

What you have should be sufficient.

BUT, if you have been studying for 6 years, have you had CSI (comprehensive sickness insurance) for the full duration that you have been/are a student??

Thank you very much for your reply.

Do you think I should include the pay-as-you-go invoices and the letter from the consulate or they would just add confusion? You reckon the degree certificate along with the GP letter should suffice?

I am not sure what you mean with comprehensive sickness insurance? I was registered with the italian national health and had the card that allows me to get treated all over Europe? After I registered as italian abroad through the consulate, this card is no longer valid, but I am registered with a GP practice through my university. I also have private insurance for when I go abroad, etc.

Sorry if I have not answered your question?

You need sickness insurance for the full duration of your studies. See UKCISA link below. NHS is not considered CSI.

Hi CR001

thank you again for the replies. I've had an EHIC card for a good part of my stay and then a private insurance that covers most conditions. However, there might have been a period where my EHIC was not in place any more (due to my registration to the italians abroad registry) and I did not set up my insurance. Surely I do not have to show comprehensive sickness insurance for the whole time period as a full time student from 2009-now? Or is it enough to show I have CSI since 22 Jun 2015.

Sorry for the myriad of questions and thanks again for the answers,

If you were a student for the whole qualifying period, you will need to show CSI for that whole time you were a student.

Hi,

it seems so, according to this document (for the forum's information):

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... s_v3_0.pdf

However, this document is interesting and indicates there are some circumstances where this can be waived?

Do anyone know of any cases where full CSI was not requested for the whole qualifying period?

Thanks again for all the replies, it is really helpful
