Travel after submitting Naturalisation as EEA citizen
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2019 2:22 pm
Hi,
I have just submitted my application and attended my biometric enrollment appointment with UKVCAS,
The lady there seemed to think I wasn't supposed to travel until I receive my BRP card which she said could take up to 8 weeks.
Being an EU citizen I have never needed a BRP card to remain in the UK. I have IRL and also permanent residency.
I'm planning on travelling for 3-4 months without returning to the UK.
I worry that I will exceed the allowed number of days you can be away within a year or does that not count once you've submitted the application?
I will have a good friend monitoring the post in case they get in touch so I can respond to those straight away.
Has anyone had any issues with longer travel after submitting being an EU citizen?
