I am interested to know more about the Surinder Singh ruling and trying to find some threads related my question on this forum but haven't got a clue yet. Not sure if some experts can help me out here.

My question is, if a British citizen wants to exercise EU Treaty Rights in Ireland, does he need to exactly work and pay taxes there for more than 6 months or it will be acceptable if it takes him one month to go there, settle himself down and start to work for another 4-5 months and come back after living there for 6 months? And does his family member have to be with him the whole time or just have to prove they are living together for most of the time in this 6 months in Ireland?

Would be happy to know if someone can point out the links of any threads or official documents regarding this.

Thanks,

EUN2.14 Can family members of British citizens qualify for an EEA family permit? ('Surinder Singh' cases)

OB (EEA Regulations 2006 - Article 9(2) - Surinder Singh spouse) Morocco [2010] UKUT 420 (IAC)

my question is how long does a british national have to reside in another member state before being an EEA national?

I don't think that there is a minimum period specified.

as i thought, because i have read alot of cases and there seem to be no time scale. the question i want to ask is if my british national spouse travels to dublin or france and live there for a 3months short course, on return to the uK will she be an EEA national?

No, as 9(2)(a) fails.
