EU dependent relative cousin brother application

Hello All,
I hope you guys are well.

I am an EU National and I want to apply for an application for my cousin brother and his family to join me in Ireland as adult dependent relative. His family consists of himself, his & wife. They are living in Pakistan so will be applying from there.

Can you please advise me which application form, guidance notes and any reference to legislation documents for me to study to understand what is required of me and how can i actually make this happen.

Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Best regards,
awm

Are they all financially dependent on you? For example, have you been supporting them all financially and do they meet any of these conditions for extended family members?

You can substitute 'Ireland' for the UK. The conditions would be the same under EU regulations.

Well I believe they are broadly the same, save for the fact that the Irish version appears slightly restrictive , in confining eligibility to the Relatives of the EU citizen Only.

Obie, how distant can the relationship be to qualify? i.e EU national's 'cousin brother'?? + family seems a bit distant and confusing (to me). Why doesn't the EU national say 'his cousin + family'?

Will a cousin's wife's uncle's step son's wife's son from her previous husband's previous marriage qualify as an extended family member?

Unfortunately their Irish regulations unlike the UK version defines relatives in tje context of Dependency or Member of the same Household..

So in this case in your opinion the extended family are unlikely to qualify?
