There seem to be no hard & fast rules and it's impossible to get a clear answer until you actually apply to the universities. We have lived overseas for 15 years & my 2 younger children were never educated in the UK. My son went to uni in 2010 and was accepted as a home student. My daughter went to uni last year, and although initially accepted as a home student, the university reassessed her & decided she is an overseas student. Of the 5 universities she applied for, two wanted all the documentation someone previously mentioned to assess her status. We do have a home in the UK by the way. It's a minefield - good luck! edited by lulubaker on 30/05/2013 what if we have residential employment status not a temporary one? We are EU citizens with permanent residence in our country but have lived overseas many years. Not sure what you mean? We all have residential employment status ( here in Dubai), don't we? .....the temporary refers to your likelihood of returning to the UK after the job is over - for many of us that is the case but if e.g. you have your own business etc in Dubai then it is likely that they will onsider you " temporarily absent due to work" ... We have never had to produce a statement from workplace, ticket stubs, bank etc etc but then we do own property in the UK, pay community charge and pay some tax so I don;t know whether they have access to this type of information. I mean that my husband's contract is for an unlimited period not for a certain one (2-3 years and renewable). Is this a temporary contract? For sure we will go back in our country one day, not sure when... and some universities ask for a date of return. As more I research as more I am confused...
