1- You need to have enough money for at least three months of living expenses in addition to of course, any tuition fees for the uni.

2- Studying is exercising treaty rights.

3- Should be indefinite since you are moving to live there.

4- Six months

5 - From the day its granted usually but you can request it to be valid from any later date in the application form.

Good luck

 

No but if you are asking this in regards to your application for EEA Family Permit, then your EEA spouse doesn't have to be exercising treaty rights at all but you will have to prove that she INTENDS to exervise her treaty rights once in UK.

Mere the proof that she has been applying for admission/asking for information like prospectus etc should suffice but I would advise against that because the ECO can always refuse to accept it as a proof that she is gonna study.

I would suggest if she is not sure what to study and where, you can get an acceptance letter from a uni for a course that she intends to do, which many unis can give out free. She will then have time to think and decide about her study till you guys get to UK.

Good luck

 

It was just a suggestion. I have seen a few people getting acceptance letter from unis without paying a penny. It all depends on unis and the course you choose, so might be worth giving a try.

 

Yes evidence of that sort or any other sort to show that she is actively looking for work. Remember that at the same time, you will need to show enough money for expenses till the time she finds work. ( at least three months to be on the safe side ).

 

Family Permit As a Student: Payslips/accommodation

Hi,

i am in a very similar situation. I am chilean, my wife is french (she was borned in chile, but her father is french. She has a valid french passport). We have been living married in chile since april 2009. Our marriage is official to the french government (livret de famille). I will start studying in london on october.
- is it better for me to get an eea family permit instead of a tier 4 student visa?
- how much is it?
- how long does it take to get it?
- what do you do after it expires?
- my wife will try to get a job. What are the proofs you need to provide for that?

Thank you very much for your help!
