No, you need to shift your centre of life to your new EU state for around 12 months before returning.

This option is now a lot more difficult than it used to be.

I'm not sure if this centre of life requirement is lawful. It needs to be challenged.

Hi Amber,

In what sense you think it should be challenged ....I have seen some cases on the forum with directive they husband got the spouse EU things sort out after just living three months in Ireland. It might be old story now .

Thx
