You can start work immediately, the nature of the EEA Family permit is that it is valid as a work permit also.
Your employer will apply on your bahalf for a NI number.

You can apply immediately for a residence card, you don have to wait until the end of your permit to do so.
You will receive a letter from Croydon stating your right to immediate employment.

My wife Jet started work a few months ago, and her employer has applied for the NI number for her.

No need to waste time in waiting.

Good luck in your job search...:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I happen to be working from home from time to time, and having a nosey on the forum, relieves the boredom.
It might also have something to do with "Forum Addiction"....

Dom most people have to apply for their own NI, im led to belive.

I asked a person who worked in HR at a big uni and she said for certain professions they can apply on behalf of visting lecturers and the like but for everyday admin staff for example they have to apply themselves.
Some big employers like the NHS can apply on behalf of workers.
She actual rang up a contact at the local job centre for the latest info on my behalf. This was a year or so, so may have changed yet again just to confuse us all:Brick:


As at the time the Wife needed to know.

I.

The guy that employed Jet said that he was going to apply on her behalf.
She has a temporary one at the moment (from wages slip), with the 2 letters at the front missing....

I guess it depends on the area.

In london the system we had to use was different to others on here applying at the same time who simply poped into the local job centre.

I guess its due to the different populations and no simple easy to follow system for people as usual. The system actually changed while we were applying as with visas and everything else.
Way to many people in this country employed just to keep thinking up different policies:NoNo:

Im sure they will look in to a way to charge for it.
