Family Members of a European Citizen
Retention of Right of Residence
This category applies to family members of an EU citizen who, for whatever reason, have lost their right of residence after living with the EU citizen for a period of time in the UK. This category includes spouses who are divorced from the EU citizen, family members whose EU citizen died or a parents with custody of a child who is a family member of an EU citizen. This case is more complex than the other categories of European Family visas and has greater requirements.
Parents, spouses, children and grandchildren aged under 21 of a EU citizen
European citizens’ first-degree ascendants are eligible to apply for a UK residence visa. Parents of European citizens who live their children and are financially dependent on them qualify for a visa valid up to five years.
Extended Family Members
Parentes em linha colateral (irmãos, primos, tios, sobrinhos) de cidadão europeu também possuem direito a visto de residência. Um pouco diferente dos requisitos aplicáveis aos familiares diretos (pais, filhos e sogros/genros/noras) do cidadão europeu, os familiares estendidos necessariamente tem que demonstrar dependência financeira integral ao europeu e anterior a entrada no Reino Unido. Processos envolvendo familiares estendidos são mais complexos e, por isso, são analisados de maneira diferenciada pelo Home Office.
