Please find below the conditions of eligibility for the application of an EEA Family Permit:
- The EU citizen must be exercising their rights in the UK (employment, self-employment, study, self-sufficient…)
- The couple must have met and be legally married or in a civil partnership with each other
- The couple or family must intend to live together.
- If the non-EU citizen is applying from outside the UK, the couple must be traveling to the UK together
The EEA Family Permit is usually first issued for a period of 6 months and allows unrestricted employment in the UK. The EU Citizen will then be expected to apply for an EEA Residence Permit (if not already held), and their spouse/partner should then apply for a 5 year Family Permit.
