Exercising Treaty Rights - please clarify??
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2013 6:20 pm
I am trying to understand this. If as a British citizen you have lived and worked in another eea member state even if it was years before can you exercise your treaty rights ? This in turn would effectively allow you to bring a non eu spouse to reside in the UK even they did not reside with you in the other member state and in fact you met them after this time. I believe it is to do with regulation 9 and the "metlock case" If this is permitted is their a time limit on how long ago you resided in the other country ? I am aware of the SS route where the non eu partner resides with you but understand that this may also be a route. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
