So as a Spanish guy working in the UK I could use kickstarter as well?
- alexkus 14y agoIf you satisfy the requirements listed above then yes. As an EU citizen (I assume you have a Spanish Passport) then you automatically have the right to permanently reside in the UK:- http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucitizens/documents-eea-nationals/ http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucitizens/documents-eea-n... "Under European law, you do not need to obtain documentation confirming your right of residence in the UK if you are a national of a country in the EEA." However, as you'll see from the list, having this right isn't all you'll need. You actually have to be living in the UK, have a UK bank account, etc. It's unclear as to whether the "Government-issued ID" relates to the UK Government or any other country's Government.
- matthewowen 14y agoGiven that they specifically prefix the other requirements with 'UK', I suspect that the lack of a prefix before 'Government' means that any government will do.
- thisone 14y agodepends on their definition of "You are a permanent UK resident" For non-British citizens living in the UK, that particular phrase can mean almost anything. I've seen it mean "You must have lived in the UK for the last 2 years", "You must have ILR", "You must be naturalized", "You must have a visa with longer than {x} months/years left on it"
- moconnor 14y agoFor EU citizens this is probably the same as "ordinarily resident", which broadly means having a UK address and spending over 6 months of the year at it.
