EEA FAMILY VISA ENTITLEMENTS

The validity period of the EEA Family visa will vary according to the information submitted to show how long the EEA family member will be exercising their Treaty Rights in the UK . The maximum duration is five (5) years. Visa holders are permitted to work and study in the UK during this period without any restriction.

Once visa holders have lived in the UK for five (5) years and satisfy the necessary requirements, they may be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). ILR entitles individuals to permanent residency in as well as visa-free travel to and from the UK . ILR holders may also be able to sponsor their non-British relatives into the UK and may also ultimately be eligible to apply for British citizenship.
