Hey,

Your piece relates primarily to the Non-eu spouse. How exactly does the EU member go about getting the NIN?

Thanx, bye.

 

Do you think there is a way of getting the number without having residence papers yet? I currently live in Switzerland but want to look for jobs and eventually accept one. However until I have found this job I prefer to live in switzerland and earn money... just flying to london for interviews etc.

Do you think If I give them a post Office box or a friends address I could get the number?

thanks!

 

Umm, I am also a non-EU citizen and would like to return to the UK (I was there from '93 to '95). Am I to understand that you do not have a UK spouse? I would think that you would have to provide proof that you have a legal right to work in the UK before you can apply for a NIN. At least that was what I was told. I have also been led to believe that the laws on looking for work without permission to do so have tightened considerably since I left in '95.

What gives?

 

Re: READ THIS! About National Insurance Number questions (UK

hi,
now I am in london, but not working, just looking fot it applying on-line,registering CV in the employment and Recruitment agencies in the internet, wolking and droping CV at the shops... there I am first time and of course I don't have NIN...actually I dont know what I want, because my english is no so good that I was trying to go to try to work to offices(in my country I have a degree)... everywhere they asking NIN, referees wich I dont have and exelant english language spoken and written both.
when I am applying online, they send back just "thank yuo for applying online......" do I need print this? I am thinking to get an NIN, because seeking for a job is unsuccessful meantime!
I found "http://www.quickstartuk.com". can I trust them? possibily, they can send me just the tel numbers or to go for interview to National Insurance Office...
but I found that they can help with bank account... because I dont have bills, anything, whats improve whereI live, they can do it, withuot it...it is posible?
I am asking opinion, thanks. or maybe yuo know something about it?(sorry for mistakes)

 

for jurgita

for bank account its allways better to have it when u appling for job.
I been in similar situation and i opened bank account this way:
I came to barclay and said that I just came to uk( dont say more then 2weeks) and I am planig to stay and work so I wnat to open account. as proff of addres i shoved them my homecountry ID and passport (thats what they accepted for people who just come) its better if u apply in "rich"area .

if this wont work for you then u can do it the same day if u try 1st Contact company , you give them 30 pound and they give u letter for bank which bank fully accept .

also if they asking about NIN from jobcentre they give me letter to employer that he doesnt need my NIN until i sart work and then I will apply.
so just tell them that you will have it once u get the job in short time as you cant really apply for it without job(and because u cant be registered jobseeker )



good luck

thank yuo wery much
one more question, what is homecounty ID? I have pasposrt, I have student card.. in my pasport jus is county name there is no full adress where I lived

 

homecountry ID is identification card of your country, am sure you have one which you using in your country as proof of your name ( ID is issued to you when you are 15 , and its your permanent addres on it where you living in your country ...you know now what I mean ?)
anyway if you did leave it at home maybe you have your driving licence from your contry ( its just need to be soemthing official with you addres in your country )
if you dont have then i suggest just try that companies for little fee you would be abble to open stright away (1 st contact , or others its lot of them )
good luck

thanks

 

I have read this topic a few times, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out a little bit.

I arrived in the UK on Sat., and this is on a permenant basis, I am ordinarily resident. I arrived with my settlement visa stamped and approved. I had appointments for an optician and a surgery made for today, the monday after I had gotten back. I went to my optician this morning, and was told that I needed a National Insurance Number to receive care. The only reason I got my care free today, is because I'm a diabetic. I was wondering if there was a way that I could obtain a temporary number even though I do not have such proof as someone who is actively seeking employment, even though I am. I'm looking for work, but have yet to find anything suitable to my needs. I have yet to register anywhere, but I have been looking.

I should be entitled to NHS treatment, even though I only just arrived here.

Should I be ok with healt care till I do receive a NIN? I have my Visa in my passport, I also have the marriage certificate, proving that I am here to settle, I personally am just severely worried.

Thanks for any advice/help.

 

help me if u can about my NI number as i am 16 and dont know how to get it...and because of my visa which is HSMP please help....!

Update.
Having a UK National Insurance Number is certainly NOT proof that a holder is allowed to work in this country.
People posting on this and other matters here should make make their own status clear.ie. if they are UK/EU/EAA , or NON UK/EU/EAA, because when they don't it is confusing to others, and is often giving the impression that certain rules apply to ALL persons trying to live or work in the UK when they don't, or that that their personal experiences apply you ALL.
It is impossible for one person to give correct advice to another unless both know the status of the other person. A procedure that is quite complicated for one, may be very simple for another. One thing is for certain, and that is the new UK Conservative/Lib-Dem coalition Government intends to make it as difficult as possible for ANYONE to move to the UK, or for ANY non-citizen to work in the UK unless desperately needed. Don't think that existing EU law will stop them either.It did not before, and if they feel it necessary they will opt out of any EU legislation they don't like. They are already committed to holding a referendum in the UK before accepting any more EU legislation. In fact, if Conservatives get a future overall majority, they are quite likely to hold a referendum on UK membership of the EU. According to recent polls, most UK citizens are anti-EU, and especially anti-immigration, and it was these that were decisive factors in the last UK General Election results. Temporary immigration quotas are already in place and will soon be made smaller,and permanent. Anyone found to have illegal employees can now face severe penalties, and the number of deportations is growing daily.
It would therefore be best for all to make the appropriate applications to regularise their positions as soon as possible while there is still time, and take no notice of those on this forum who are recommending sources of BOGUS documents.

 

Hi, I am about to move to the UK from Italy to continue my training as a child psychotherapist and I am trying to figure out how to get started with the NIN issue. I don't have a job in the UK, since I'm starting a Continuing Professional Development programme which includes a voluntary placement (I applied for a bursary for CPD abroad in Italy and that's how I'm going to support myself financially at the beginning). However, I would like to start looking for part time jobs in the next months (likely baby sitting, after school clubs, etc) and therefore I would prefer to start the NIN procedure as soon as possible. Also, I want the NIN in order to have a GP. I don't have any proof of active job seeking at the moment. I read, on the HMRC website, that UK citizens can choose to pay voluntary contributions to the State and thus self-finance their NI. Does anyone now whether EU citizens have the same possibility (paying a contribution even though they don't have a job/while waiting to be employed)? I am planning to settle in the UK and after one year of CPD I will hopefully get onto a NHS funded training programme... but before that I'm not going to look for a full time job, which means that I am not in the "jobseekers" category according to the HMRC... I'm not sure whether my situation can be considered for NIN application... Anyone with similar experiences? Thanks a lot!!

 

Hi, just a quick question, how long does it take for one to have an appointment for the NIN interview booked, and does the whole process from the time of calling for interview appointment to getting the letter for the NIN long?
Thanks

 

Hi Hi,

I am moving to the UK in september from Australia (I have a full EU passport) and I'm about to start looking for and applying for jobs for when i get over there. I have been researching the National Insurance Number and I can't find anywhere where it says WHEN to apply..

When can I apply? And can one apply over the net? Or do I have to call them in the UK to set up an interview for when I first enter the UK?

Your help is appreciated,

Thanks!
