Applications are decided on the basis of personal circumstances and eligibility criteria, there is no assurance that meeting the eligibility requirement or criteria will secure definitely get the customer EU residence card.     

What is a UK residence card? 

A UK residence card is basically the document that is issued to non-EEA family members as well as extended family members who are applying for Treaty Rights in the UK. A residence card the UK confirms and acts as proof of the right of residence in the country. And derivative residence cards are issued to non-EEA nationals who have what is referred to as a ‘derivative right of residence’ in the UK, based on their relationship with an EEA national or a British citizen, for example, the non-EEA carer of an EEA national. So both have some differences. 

Eligibility to get UK Residence Card

It is possible to apply for the residence card if you are both

  1. - The family member or an extended family member of an EEA national who is a qualified person or a permanent resident

By the term ‘qualified’, it depicts that the person is either working or self-employed or self-sufficient or studying or looking for work. If you are a direct family member of the EEA national, you can apply for the residence card as:

  1. - civil partner or spouse
  2. - dependent parent or grandparent
  3. - child or grandchild who is either under 21 or a dependent

In case the EEA national is a student, you are eligible to qualify for the residence card as their family member only if you are:

  1. - civil partner or spouse
  2. - dependent child

If you are the extended family member, you can apply for the residence card in case you are either:

  1. - A relative of the EEA national but you do not qualify as the family member.

As being a relative of the EEA national you have to satisfy the following criteria:

  1. - You require the EEA national personal care on critical health grounds
  2. - you were dependent on EEA national or were a member of the EEA national household and still a member of their household or dependent on them prior to coming to UK,
