You need 5 years of residence.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

....and your wife needs to exercise her Treaty rights throughout your 5 year residence.

Not necessarily. If the wife has acquired Permanent Residence, i don't think there will be a need for that.
