Hi there!
Can you please help me?

If I came to the UK on 4th Sep 2004, when can I apply for naturalisation? a>5thSeptember 2009 or b> 5th Sep 2010?

Many thanks

If you are a European Economic Area (EEA) national or a Swiss national or the family member of such a person, you will automatically have permanent residence status if you have exercised EEA free-movement rights in the United Kingdom for a continuous five-year period ending on or after 30 April 2006. You do not have to apply for leave to remain. You should have held permanent residence status for 12 months before you apply for naturalisation.

I think that it says that after five years you automatically have permanent residence status ie 2009, but then you must have held that permanent resident status for 12 months ie 2010 before you apply for naturalisation.
