I am new to this forum. Can anyone point me to the direction. I have the following query:
1) I am a british national and I am contemplating to go to ITALY to exercise my EU rights. Is it possible for my elderly dependent sister(30+) to come to UK by exercising the Surinder Singh route?
I can see that Italy does have a visa category(short term/long term) for sibling. So is it possible to exercise Surinder Singh route?
If not. What are my options?
Thanks in advance.
Elderly at 31
A sister is an
extended family member.
You can get up to speed with EU free movement (as it is currently set up) here:

Read about
Surinder Singh here:

You may be aware UK plays hardball on SS with its somewhat controversial
centre of life tests wrapped around the purer EU law.
That means you will need to shift and transfer your whole family life out to Italy.
Things may also be changing as a result of recent discussions in Europe and DC's initiatives - so '
watch this space' (both here in this forum & in the media as a whole).
What nationality is sister?
Where does she live now?
Has she lived with you
recently in your household ? that is a household with you as head of household?
Is sister financially dependent on you?
is she married &/or dependent on anyone else?
