German citizen applying for a dependent visa to a non-EU national in UK

Post by sroy12 » Thu Sep 21, 2017 10:07 pm

Dear All,

I am a German citizen and planning to settle with my husband in UK who is Indian. I would like to know what kind of Visa should I apply? Will you please share the link where I can find information on what visa I should apply and how much I should pay?

Thanks
Regards
Sroy

You cannot apply for a visa - that would be under UK Immigration Laws.
You need a family permit under EEA rules, which can be applied for outside the UK:

This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

The family permit will cover the husband, but does assume that Sroy will become a qualified person. I misread the question as saying that Sroy would be the dependant, in which case she would use either the UK Immigration rules or would have to be a qualified person for long enough that they could become self-sufficient on the basis of his earnings and their CSI.

To avoid any confusion, as Sroy is the EEA national and not the dependent the advice above is correct.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Actually, it is entirely possible that Sroy is the dependant. It's not impossible that the couple are rich enough not to need to work.

There are many what ifs...but I tend to be guided by the thread topic, often to avoid the thread straying off-topic, confusing the OP when it becomes a debating platform. :idea:
