Hi
Myself and my sister are UK citizen, living with the family in UK. My sister’s husband is Switzerland Citizen. Our Father is living in Sri Lanka, and we just invited him as a tourist for 6 months (from Feb 2022 to July 2022). My mother is passed away in March 2019. My father does not have any other children back in Sri Lanka.
Currently Sri Lanka is almost bank draft and living expenses are very very high there and medical system are about to collapse.
Consider the above factor and we both are living in UK, we wish to him to with us rest of his life.
We don’t send money regularly from UK to him, but we have made the joined fixed deposit on his name.
My question is that
1) Whether can we apply settlement or any other permanent visa for him by using our sister’s husband Switzerland citizen? If yes, then what form we have to fill
2) Can I apply by using my nationality?
Thank you
Sasi

Your father would only qualify for an Adult Dependent Visa if he needed daily care for basic tasks, such as bathing, dressing and preparing food. The care must also be unavailable in his home country or more costly than in the UK.

This is the MOST difficult visa to obtain and a very few are successful and these have been generally after a lengthy and costly appeal. If your father applies fora an ADV and is refused, it will close the door for any future visitor visa applications in the future.

The fact that you are a British citizen doesn't change anything.

This is such an unenviable situation.
I do not know of the answer via 1 particularly your Swiss in-law who I presume is living in UK.

2. That will be ADR and as described by casa the possibility and process of that leaves little to be desired.

Be aware that your father can't make the application as the family member of an EEA/Swiss citizen from within the UK, if he is in the UK as a tourist. He'll have to make the application from some other country where he has residency rights (i.e. is not a tourist).

7.25 The main changes in respect of the EUSS and the EUSS family permit are as follows:

• to allow a joining family member to apply to the EUSS whilst in the UK as a visitor. From 6 October 2021, the temporary concession to this effect outside Appendix EU where certain joining family members are concerned, as currently set out in the EUSS caseworker guidance, will cease to operate5.
