Hi Richie,

My best advice will be that you both apply for settlement under the Surinder Singh route and see if it is possible. Your wife should have no problem getting a visa and I wonder why she has not applied for one since, as the FP should not be a problem. This is only my advice as you have British Citizenship but it is a tough one as you are in Hungary as a Hungary citizen as well. So the thin line will be to prove that you are exercising treaty rights under EU with your British Citizenship i.e. proof of working (you can also add the proof of MAlta done for 5 years as this should hold since you already had the British Citizen as at then) Not sure if you needed any other proof.
I hope this helps. Read the Surinder Singh Route forum for more advice.
PS: also read the EU Settlement Scheme Toufik Lounes Case and see if it applies to you as well.
I presume you had PR when you naturalised as British.

Beyond the mere immigration issue, I see also a life-style problem. As your wife is non-EEA, moving around Europe all the time is not going to help for her immigration status.
- She will spend most of life filling forms in various countries
- She won't build any qualifying period towards a permanent residence anywhere
- She won't get any EEA citizenship
- If the relationship is broken, she is back to Peru
- You guys will pay a lot of money on solicitors
I understand you pursue professional opportunities but I can only recommend to weight the ramifications/impact on her status.
I see that you even applied under Surinder Singh, got accepted, but the time the mail reached you, you had already decided to move to Netherlands.
Immigration applications take time to be decided. You need really to know where do you want to go next and stay for at least a few years in order for you to get some visibility.
As for the UK, why now just taking the Surinder Singh and apply again. You are familiar with the application as you did it recently, you can just fill it again and send it.

I'm puzzled as to why you think you do not come under the category of EEA national in the EEA regulations. You seem to meet the conditions for Lounes to apply, both in the EEA regulations and in the EU settlement scheme, where you would be a 'relevant naturalised British citizen'. The recent visit to the UK has preserved your PR status, so you would be eligible for ILR under the EU scheme if you weren't a British citizen.
