The changes to the UK immigration rules are not relevant to applications under EU rules. If your wife is not working you and her will need a comprehensive sickness insurance plan before you can qualify for a residence card.

If the EEA national is student, apply as such as the evidence required are simpler than self sufficient.

She will need a letter from university/college confirming her studies, a declaration signed by her that she has sufficient funds not to become burden on the state and a private health insurance (CSI) for her or a non-UK EHIC.

thank you jambo and luckapooka is there any salary requirement for non eu spouse to b eligible to apply as i dont earn that much just wondering that my salary which is under 12000 per year should be enough to apply ?thanks

It's all about the EU national exercising treaty rights. Your salary would only be relevant if the EU national were self-sufficient based on that money.
