Want my nonEU parents to join me in Poland

[Geetika]

Hello All,

I hope I can find your advice here as I have some confusion with regards to my parents visa. I hold British citizenship with my husband and we are moving to Poland as my husband has got a transfer. This is for 2 years. And I'd like to apply visa for my mother who lives in India, hence is a non-EU parent. The questions I have are:
- Can my mother join us while we are in Poland for long-term?
- And then when we move back to UK, can I get my mother here through Surinder Singh route? And if there are any things to be concerned about?

Many thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

Yes to the first query, provided either you or your husband can prove that the parent is financially dependent on you or him.

As regards SS, it is unclear what impact Brexit will have on people on the SS route. I would assume that it will cease to exist or be practically impossible to exercise and plan accordingly.

It will be interesting to see, if EU grants special status like Swiss to UK.
i.e. Swiss citizen can exercise their FM rights similar to EU citizen, anywhere in EU but its not the case otherway round.
