EEA Residence Card
If you are from the EEA or Switzerland, you are not required to have a residence card. However, having a residence card has many advantages. It will help you re-enter the UK easily and quickly if you are returning after travelling abroad. The residence card is a quick way to show employers that you are allowed to be employed in the UK. Lastly, it will allow you to quickly and easily prove that you are entitled to services and benefits enjoyed by EEA or Swiss nationals.
If you are an extended family member (unmarried partner, or relative) of an EEA or Swiss national, you are required to apply for a residence card if you wish to live permanently in the UK.
