I quickly checked Germany, Austria and Luxembourg and they all say that non-EEA family members of British nationals have to be present and resident in the host country on or before 31st December 2020.irfan0611 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 2:54 pmHi, if a British national moves to an EU country prior to 31 December 2020 and can they apply for non EU dependent family members under directive 2004 after 31 December 2020 or they have to be applied prior to end of this year?
As per The Withdrawal Agreement it sets out the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and provides for a deal on citizens’ rights. It sets out a transition period which lasts until 31 December 2020. During this time you can continue to live, work and study in the EU broadly as you did before 31 January 2020.
If you are resident in EU country at the end of the transition period, you will be covered by the Withdrawal Agreement, and your rights will be protected for as long as you remain resident in that EU country.

I don't know, I understood that everybody including family members would have to be resident before the end of the year - I am happy to be corrected!irfan0611 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 8:59 amHi I found this article and as per this information non EEA dependent family members can still apply after 31 December 2020;

Family members
Your close family members will be able to join you after 31 December 2020 under current EU rules. This applies to spouses or registered partners, dependent children and grandchildren, and dependent parents and grandparents. The relationship must have begun before the transition period ends on 31 December 2020.
In the UK at least, as long as
But that's not the question here, is it?Bring family members to the UK after 31 December 2020
If you’re a citizen of an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you’ll be able to bring close family members to the UK after 31 December 2020 if both of the following apply:
- your relationship with them began before 31 December 2020
If you’re a Swiss citizen, you’ll also be able to bring your spouse or civil partner to the UK until 31 December 2025 if both of the following apply:
- you are still in the relationship when they apply to join you
- your relationship with them began between 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2025
- you are still in the relationship when they apply to join you
I have the strange feeling this could be the case. Possible that we will see very similar legislations, just somewhat different deadlines. At least for France, the hard deadline is July 31st and not June 30th; and the length of leave given to people is not standardised to 5 years as it is in the UK for Pre-Settled Status, but it can be from 1 to 5 years, depending on the individual situation.If they are not covered, could there be 27 different situations for family members?
Lol, a Spotify add just lead me into what I think is the right direction. I am currently working remotely from France and heard an add directed to UK nationals living in France that gave a link. Tried the same for Austria and found it: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-austriairfan0611 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 19, 2020 9:29 amThe reason I am asking this question that my UK family member is moving to Austria in this month and going to apply visa for his non EEA dependent child who is over the age of 21. Currently there are no appointments available at embassy in Pakistan therefore looking for information for him so we have enough time to apply for a visa.
