How to bring parent to the UK

Post by Blondinbella » Wed Aug 14, 2024 10:55 pm

Hello!

I’m a dual UK/EU citizen and I was wondering if someone could please advise me on how to bring my parent to the UK (60 years old, EU citizen).

Many thanks!

Your parent can come visit but not live here permanently without a visa. EUSS closed a long time ago now.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

Dependent parents and children of settled EEA citizens have a lifelong right to move to the UK under the Withdrawal Agreement.

As the OP is a dual UK/EU citizen, provided they got their UK citizenship by naturalisation, they would be Settled by definition.

So, so long as the mother can prove dependency, they should be able to register for pre-settled status under the EUSS.

And I would go further. I don't think there is any need for applying for the EU Family Permit either. The mother can visit the UK on their EU passport and then apply for pre-settled status from within the UK, provided she can prove dependency.

Hi everyone, I have a similar question to the OP and found this guidance on https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-ci ... ily-member . I'm trying to figure out whether it will be possible to bring retired parents to the UK after I (hopefully) get my British citizenship.

The guidance states that you can still apply to the EUSS within 90 days of arrival if you’re the family member of a British citizen who is also a citizen of an EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, and they lived in the UK as a citizen of one of these countries before getting British citizenship.

It does not mention having to prove dependency etc. and it sits under "Other types of family relationship" to the dependent parent etc.

Does anyone know if this understanding is correct - i.e. if you meet the condition above, you don't have to prove dependency?
