Eea family permit and uk visa

hello. maybe meant for the uk forum, if so please give me the link. i am about to go for interviews to get a uk visa. i have a permis de sedere valid till october 2016. Someone told me that  once o go to uk and apply for residency i am not allowed to leave the uk until i get my residency. is that true?

YES , you wont be able to leave the country because they will hold your passport till you dont get the residency card.

Hello everyone,

This thread is now on the England forum.

All the best
