EEA Applications
EEA nationals and their EEA national family members can apply for a residence certificate valid for 5 years. When coming from outside the UK, non-EEA family members will be given a resident permit valid for 6 months which allows them to travel to the country. Once here, they can apply for the 5-year resident card.
The eligibility criteria to be able to apply for EEA applications is that you must be from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and a close or extended family member of an EEA or Swiss Citizen.
EEA Family Permits are valid for 6 months and you can leave and enter the UK as many times as you require during that time period.
They make it easier and quicker to enter the UK. Without one, you might not get a boarding pass, entry into the UK or could experience major delays without one.

Extended Family Members
