Hello everyone,

On the 1st of December I will be 5 years in the UK and wish to apply for the Permanent Residence.

During these 5 years I've been living in the UK I have changed employers only once but had a 'gap' of 3 weeks between jobs where I was away from the UK travelling around Europe.

When I submit my EEA3 application will this employment 'gap' be an issue?

I can provide documentation I have worked and live in the UK, I own my flat here and including those 3 weeks of holiday I have not spend more than 60 days away from the UK each year.

Thanks in advance for your help!

That depends on what other evidence you have.

Thanks Victoria. The missing payslip is for my eea spouse, I'm non- eea and I have my 5 yrs proof of residence. She has some p60s too. The whole document covers 5 yrs apart from gaps I mentioned earlier.

That is a lot of gaps!

Did your wife work for five years without interruption? If so, contracts, bank statements showing salary, letters from the employer, P60s and P45s can be used to show it was continuous. Exactly what to show depends on the situation though and only an advisor can give definite answers, but it should be possible to show if it's only a matter of one or two payslips missing. Also the employer may issue a stamped/signed duplicate of them.

However if there were gaps in employment, how long were they, each gap, not the total length? Your wife may have retained the status of worker and/or been a jobseeker.
