AIT (1) Where a person relies (wholly or in part) on a period of residence under the earlier 2000 EEA Regulations in order to establish a permanent right of residence under regulation 15 of the 2006 EEA Regulations, the period of 5 years continuous residence in the UK must end on, or after, 30 April 2006 when the 2006 EEA Regulations came into force. (2) Whilst residence in accordance with the 2000 Regulations (but not the 1994 Order) counts as residence ‘in accordance with’ the 2006 Regulations for the purposes of regulation 15(1)(b), a family member must also show by evidence that that residence was ‘with the EEA national’.
