Dear members,
I am a British Citizen, planning to bring my non-EEA family members (Parents & brothers) as dependents in Ireland (eventually to UK) through EEA directive 2004/EC/38.
I have read several posts and EU papers on this topic but i have few questions. I hope members can answer them.
1) Lets say a British citizen go to Ireland and exercise treaty rights. Then, which visa type should be applied first?
-Do family members need to come on visit C visa first and then apply for Residence Permit?
- Or Can they directly apply from their country for the EU Family Directive 2004/38/EC?
- Or should they come to UK on visit then go to Ireland and apply for apply for Residence Permit?
2) What are the documentary evidences that would suffice to prove family members' dependency on EEA citizen? Will Bank statements showing consistent remitances be enough? And some sort of Medical History for elderly parents?
3) If UK citizen shows himself self employed i.e he would setup a Limited company and have all documentation (income, rental agreement, bank accounts, Tax documents etc.) to show that he is based there. But he keeps traveling between UK and Ireland, will there be any issue?
4) If UK citizen, after bringing non-EEA family members to an EEA country (Ireland) goes back to UK. Can Family members just keep living in Ireland legally without UK citizen being there? Is it allowed?
5) Can a UK Citizen living & working in Ireland apply for NON-EEA In-Laws (Parents, brother) while spouse (UK citizen) is in UK. Is it allowed? Assuming all the bank transfers have been made to show dependency.
Thanks,
