Need help on Non-EAA

[helix_26]

Hi Everyone, Just looking for some advice, would appreciate if any one of you can guide me to the right direction.
I am a Naturalised Irish Citizen, my brother is Non-EAA studying on a student visa here. Is there any way I can get him a long term residency for him if not any alternative like workpermit or getting eufam or similar.
He is been in Ireland for last few years in on student visa. he is almost at the end of his degree.
Thanks

No. I dont think naturalised citizens have any right to family reunification. Also, as far as I am aware, time spent on a student visa does not count toward LTR or naturalisation.

if not any alternative like workpermit

He could apply for a work permit but he needs a job offer first and earning €30,000 plus, and has to be one of the jobs that is allowed, ie: high-skilled.

or getting eufam or similar

He would not be entitled to stamp 4 EUFAM unless he is the family member, partner or spouse of an EU National.

Thanks Monifé, okay for Workpermit at present are very restricted due to recession so that probably won't help us.
In terms of what you said he needs to be family member of EU national, would an Irish National be not considered as an EU National, he is my younger brother, but i was reading INIS earlier and they mention only dependants are allowed as EUFAM so i suppose this might not even work !

Just thinking out loud if i move to UK will that help him ?

If you move to the UK and take him with you, he can work in the UK for as long as you are exercising a Treaty right there. This assuming he was either dependant on you or was a member of your household in Ireland before the move to the UK.

Thanks, Do you know what are the requirements to show my brother as a dependant or household member I was reading from UK border agency website and it doesnt state much except you have to prove they are dependent ?

Your family

If you have a right to live the in the UK, your family may join you here. Your family is defined as:

* your spouse (husband or wife) or civil partner;
* any children or grandchildren of you, your spouse or your civil partner who are under 21 years of age or who are dependent on you; and
* the parents or grandparents of you, your spouse or your civil partner.

If you are a student, only your spouse, civil partner or dependent children are entitled to a right of residence.

Other relatives (including extended family members such as brothers, sisters and cousins) do not have an automatic right to live in the UK. To be considered, the extended family member must be able to demonstrate that they are dependent on you.
