Hi,

My husband are I are living in Cyprus and will be applying for his EEA FP this week. I would really appreciate some help with the following questions:

1. I am a dual national (British and Cypriot) and have both passports. Can my husband apply for his EEA FP using my Cypriot passport details?

2. Once in the UK do we still only have 3 months of right to stay even though am a British citizen and he applied with my Cypriot details?

3. When he applies for his 5 yr residency card does he include my British details or Cypriot details?

Thank you

No your husband is not eligible for an FP, you will have to have exercised your treaty rights in EU country other than Cyprus for him to become eligible.

Why is my husband not eligible to apply in Cyprus for his EEA FP? We both live in Cyprus. Why can he not use my Cyprus details? Does he use my British passport details?

Scroll to paragraph 16, the rules have changed in light of McCarthy.

Thanks for the link. In that case we will use the surinder route and he will use my British details. I thought the McCarthy case was for dual British/Irish.
Surinder route it is......

McCarthy Arrest concerns a dual British/Irish citizen, but the wider implication means dual british and any other EEA state citizen.
