Hi
One of my friends who is Croatian and living in Croatia.
She is thinking to come to UK hopefully to live in UK.
Can you please tell me on what route she can come in?

Is Croatia in EEA ?
If so can she travel without any restriction from UKBA?
I would appreciate your honest opinions and answers.

For FP see: https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/overview
(you could have googled it btw)

Non-EEA national needs to apply for FP before travelling to UK (unless they have an Article 10 / 20 Residence Card from a.n.other EU country).

I don't know much about Croatia but here's more information on free movement to get you up to speed:

.

Provided the Croatian national Is exercising treaty right.

Currently they are not entitled to work without permission

[moris]

What is exercising treaty right can you please explain?

[CR001]

Working, studying, being self sufficient.

[Obie]

Working,

Not for Croatian citizens

[moris]

Working, studying, being self sufficient.

What is being self sufficient and how to prove it?
Is that after once she is in UK?

I am bit confused ,
Can she come come to UK with her dependant and non EEA spouse at same time to UK?
if they are allowed on what basis they are allowed to live in UK ?
I think they have some money as savings to survive without depending on benefits.
Can send message to you in your inbox please CR001?
