Applicants: New version of Turkish Employed (ECAA 1) application form |
|
19 August 2010
The UK Border Agency has published a new version of application form ECAA 1 for Turkish workers who want to extend their stay in the UK.
The new version of the form (version 08/2010) should be used for applications made on or after 27 August 2010. If you are applying on or before 26 August 2010, you must use the current version of the form (version 04/2010).
To qualify for permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain') as a Turkish worker, you must:
- be a worker;
- be duly registered ...
as belonging to the UK's labour force; and
- have been in legal employment with the same employer for at least 1 year.
If a worker has worked for diferent employers while they havebeen in the UK, it can be difficult for us to see whether they have been in continuous lawful employment. We have therefore added an 'employment history' table in section 4.5 of the ECAA 1 form. The table will make it easier for our caseworkers to identify gaps within applicants' employment history.
You can find more information about applying to extend your stay as a Turkish worker, and download both versions of the application form, in the Turkish workers section.
