Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

UK or EU national

Hi all!
I would like to ask how much would my application differ from the others if I applied as an EU national but was eligible to apply as an UK national?
Only recently I realised that there was an option for me to apply as an UK national because I lived in England for more than 5 years.
My friends didn't have to post as much to SFE and I'm slightly sceptical about sending my passport there via post...
If it is worth changing it, what is the easiest and fastest way to do so and would I need to reapply?

Hi Delaylal

You can apply as EU or SFE. If you need to change the application, you can send a new paper one by post with the relevant evidence.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply :smile:

I have contacted the SFE directly and got it sorted already. Still an EU applicant and because I have been here for more than 5 years, as long as I provide the evidence, my application will be treated almost as UK's applicant.
