Hi there,

My wife is a British citizen and I am a non-eu national and I live in Ireland. We are both under the age of 21. So that means I do not qualify for the British spouse visa just yet. Therefore, I am thinking of applying for the EEA family permit, so I can go with my wife and visit her relatives and live with them for sometime maybe. My questions are:

1. Can I apply for the UK family permit outside the UK, i.e. Ireland?
2. I heard that I will have to be on the family permit for 5 years until I qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain, if that's true, can I apply for the British spouse visa after reaching 21 years of age even though I'm holding the family permit?

All advice is appreciated Very Happy

Thank you for your help. Smile

What is your nationality?
What do you do in Ireland and how long have you lived there?
Where does you wife live, and what does she do?
