(asked on 15th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether legal advice was sought on the changes made to comprehensive sickness insurance for non-UK nationals applying for permanent residency.
This question was answered on 21st March 2017
There have been no changes to the requirement for EU national self-sufficient persons or students to hold comprehensive sickness insurance in order to qualify for a right to reside since it was set out in the Free Movement Directive (2004/38), which was adopted in 2004 and transposed into UK law in the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006.
