I am 31 years old. I am unmarried. I have been operated in my stomach and been removed my kidney 25 years back. Do I qualify under personal care criteria to get EEA extended family member visa?
Or should I come to UK as a tourist and then apply for EEA visa?
please suggest me what is right way.

Below are the rules to qualify for EEA extended family member visa i seen on UKBA website.

2.4 Extended family members
Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations covers extended family members (for example, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins). It also covers direct family members (such as parents or children over the age of 21) who have failed to provide evidence of financial dependency.

An applicant may be considered under regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations if s/he falls within any of the following conditions (see overleaf):

1. Was living as part of the EEA national's household in an EEA state before the EEA national came to the United Kingdom¹; or

2. Is living as part of the EEA national‟s household in the United Kingdom; or

3. Has joined the EEA national in the UK and continues to be dependent on the EEA national or his/her spouse (see section 2.3.2); or

4. Strictly requires personal care from the EEA national on serious health grounds; or

5. Can prove that s/he is in a durable relationship with the EEA national²

¹Note: there is no dependency test for persons who can show that they have lived under the same roof as
the EEA national before coming to the UK.
²EC law now recognises “durable relationships”. For this reason an applicant may also be considered
under regulation 8 if s/he: Is the EEA national's partner (other than a civil partner) and can show the decision maker that
s/he is in a durable relationship with the EEA national.

Correct rule is:

UK Implementation


Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations (which deals with extended family members) implements this duty in the United Kingdom. Under Regulation 8 there are four kinds of extended family member:

a person who is a relative of an EEA national or his/her spouse or civil
partner and who is financially dependent on the EEA national or is a
member of his/her household, and who either (i) is accompanying the
EEA national to the UK / wishes to join him there, or (ii) has joined him in
the UK and continues to be dependent on him or to be a member of
his/her household;

"Brother, sister, Uncle, Aunt, Cousins" count as Extended Family member. And I believe, you should be good to go.

2.4 Extended family members
Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations covers extended family members (for example, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins). It also covers direct family members (such as parents or children over the age of 21) who have failed to provide evidence of financial dependency.

The above mentioned relationship is with EEA National not with spouse of EEA National. Your brother has got EEA2 but not an EEA national yet. You may not be eligible to apply.
