European Passport Return Service

What is European Passport Return Service ??

(The Bold quote is from the gov.uk site)
“The European passport return service allows you and your family to take your passports to a participating local authority for verification and copying, and for the local authority to then send the copy to the Home Office.” 
So guys, when you apply for EEA Certificate or EEA Family Member Resident Card, you DON’T HAVE TO send your original passports. You can keep it back with you.
Am a bit freakout when i knew that my friend didn’t get her passport back from the Home Office after her application, she got pretty headache to sort it out. Yes Home Office will take the original passport for a long time, it might takes from 6 months or more (through your application process). It means we cannot go anywhere. Big NO!! Plus, it is hard to track the application progress, you can’t ring the Home Office, quite difficult, they won’t give you a clue, you just have to wait.

EEA QP and UK Resident Card / Biometric Resident Permit

Morning mates.. Hope everyone doing well. Its been agess that i writing here. Abandoned !! Lols. Right, here i am, thinking about some request from my readers to write bout UK Resident Card or known as Biometric Resident Permit (BRP). How to apply it ?? 

This is based on my experience, it might help you through the darkest of UK documents time. I know i know, kinda Bloody Hell, be patient and be informed, you can do it !!

Please read before asking me the same questions.
Here I applied as EEA Family Member.
I am Indonesian (Non EEA Citizen) and my husband is Italian (EEA Citizen).
First, Breath easy 🤗 It will took a looong wayyy winding road (am Half Joking)
Note!! Do Not Wait till your EEA Family Permit Visa Expired !! If you got 6 months of UK - EEA Family Visa, apply for Resident Card (RC) at least 3 months before your Visa Expired. Example, your visa is valid til June 2018, you should apply for Resident Card at least on March 2018. I recommend this, as my Resident Card Application took 3 months of process, kinda frustrating me as i applied it one week before my visa expired. Lol. Nothing happened, do not worry, but you can’t do anything that requires your documents as it’s already expired. So do it long before your visa expired.

National Insurance Number UK

My NIN (I covered the data due to security reasons)

Have you ever heard about National Insurance Number (NIN) in UK ??? I bet for those who willing to work and living  in UK.. you know about it, since you will need it ;) It's kinda important thing here. National Insurance number is personal account number. The number makes sure that the National Insurance contributions and tax you pay are properly recorded on your account. It also acts as a reference number for the whole social security system.

First time I realized that I need the NIN is when I wanted to open a Bank account. all the Bank kept asking me...

Bank : Miss, do you have NIN?? 

Me : Ummm what do you mean?? excuse me what iss that NIN???

Bank : The National Insurance Number!!

Me : Ahh okay how do I get it?? 

Bank : You should apply first then you can come again to our Bank. (smile and leave)

Me : £##€!!!*#€&% (confused)

Shortly, I decided to apply for it, so How do you get the National Insurance Number?? Here they are..

Visa Entrance to UK - EEA Family Permit

It's been a long time I willing to write about Visa Entrance to UK for European Family member... they called it Visa EEA (European Economic Area) Family Permit. This visa is for non-EEA member family, if your spouse is one of EEA member.. you can travel to UK with this kind of visa with condition !!! that you travel together with your spouse or you willing to join your spouse in UK.

I am an Indonesian citizen (non-EEA) and my husband is Italian (EEA member) so this visa is right for me if I traveling to UK with my husband or to join my husband in UK. For Italy, the visa need to be issued in Rome. The official agency is WorldBridge Visa.

Updated 2014 for apply visa check to the link here https://www.gov.uk/family-permit

I contacted so many unofficial agency and they charged a lots for this visa, without guarantee that your visa will be approved. Meanwhile the original fee is FREE. So my friend in Rome and Milan, gave me some information about the official visa agency. (Grazie cara Indah e Intan) . So continuing their kindness to me.. now I'm gonna share to you, so you don't need to go to another agency cos here everything is official and simple. No worries as long as your documents is complete ;)
