Hi All,

I hope you can help me. I am a British citizen and my non-EU husband was granted an EEA Family Permit under the Surinder Singh route. The permit is multiple entry and valid until May 2020. Now we came back to the UK and we don't know what the next steps are. I couldn't find much information but heard that he needs to activate it and apply for residence permit.
Would you have an idea on how to get the residence permit?
Your help is much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Nixrine

From the EUSS website:

If your family member is a British citizen (‘Surinder Singh’ applications)
You may be eligible if you lived outside the UK in an EU or EEA country (or Switzerland) with your family member.

You must have lived with them in the EU or an EEA country that is not the UK (or Switzerland) before 1 February 2020, and be:

married to or in a civil partnership with them

under 21 years old, and are their child or grandchild

21 years or older, and are their dependent child or grandchild

their dependent parent or grandparent
The country that you lived in together must have been your main residence. Your British family member must also have been working, studying or self-sufficient in the country while there.

You cannot use the online service to apply if this is how you qualify for the scheme.

You need to call the EU Settlement Resolution Centre to find out how to apply. You’ll be asked a few questions over the phone before you’re sent the application form.
