EU Employee with National ID card and NI

[jozee]

Hi friends,
I have a query,I am applying my extension in a week time but one of my employee is EU citizen and we got his national id copy with NI (UK) and prove of address. But unfortunately he lost his passport recently and there is no chance he will get soon.

Will these documents be ok to provide to HO?

Please help.

Thanks

You only need to provide copies of the passport.

If you read immigration rules, there is no mention of PR for Europeans.

A passport or national identity card showing the holder, or a person
named in the passport as the child of the holder, is a national of a
European Economic Area country or Switzerland.##

EEA (and Swiss) Nationals
All nationals from European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland, with the exception of Croatia, are free to live and work in the UK. They may demonstrate their right to work through their EEA (or Swiss) passport or national identity document Examples of passports and national identity cards may be seen here and you may accept an expired EEA or Swiss passport to establish the right to work (although check the photograph carefully against the physical image of the holder).
The E-passport, introduced in the 1990s, contains a “chip inside” logo indicated on the front cover of the document and an electronic chip which contains the facial image and biographical data of the holder.
Nationals from the EEA may also demonstrate their right to work through a Registration Certificate or Document Certifying Permanent Residence issued by the Home Office. This may be a residence vignette in their passport like the one shown below or a separate blue residence card bearing a photograph and personal details of the holder and which will also bear the same residence vignette. Swiss nationals receive a similar pink card shown below.

Bit off topic question,

I have an employee he gave his old passport with a very old style ILR in it. And gave a copy of the current passport too. He never changed his visa to the new one or applied to get a BRP.

He has been working for more them a year now. Is that document acceptable? On the acceptable right to work document page saying all document has to be current document. I am bit confused here, hope someone can help.

For right to work checks, the ILR has to be in the current passport. Whether HO will accept it in the old passport for the visa, of the I'm not sure.
Expired passports of only EU nationals are accepted.

Hi, I have not read anywhere about five years for EU nationals

Thanks Sar for your reply. Does NI document is necessary?

[jozee]

Thanks every one for your contribution. Fortunately we have found his passport copy as well.

thanks

Thanks Sar for your reply. Does NI document is necessary?

No. Passport copies of a settled person will be enough

[whiteroses]

NI is only needed if you submit birth certificates or certificates of registration/naturalisation/ILR letter.

[Mahir1108]

As far as I know, National Identity cards for EU nationals are accepted as proof for employment. For obvious tax reasons you also need their NI number. Submitting both for extension should not be a problem.

Does EU passport holder consider as a settled person?
I am still confuse about this. I have contacted the home office help line 2 months ago and they said EU passport holder must have PR in order to be consider as a settled worker.

From guidance :

"Only jobs that are given to people with settled status in the UK will qualify for the award of points. Paragraph 6 of the Immigration Rules defines what we mean by “settled in the United Kingdom”
This can be viewed on: http://www.gov.uk/government/collection ... tion-rules.

And after there is list of EU countries.


Anybody had or will apply with EU employees ?
Thanks
