      Surinder Singh EEA Visa Route

      You must be the spouse, parent, grandparent, or child of a British citizen who has been living with you in the EU to qualify for the Surinder Singh Visa. While in the EU with you, this individual must have been “exercising treaty rights.” This indicates that they were either employed, enrolled in school, were financially self-sufficient, or were actively looking for jobs.

      We will assist you in determining whether you are qualified to enter the UK via the Surinder Singh path. Our immigration lawyers will determine whether your sponsor was officially “exercising treaty rights” while in Europe and whether you are eligible for Surinder Singh. By conducting a comprehensive document search, professionally completing your application, and delivering a personalised Letter of Representation, we will increase your chances of a successful application. The merits of your application will be explained in this Letter of Representation, along with cite relevant immigration law, and reference supporting documentary evidence.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      You must apply for EEA Family Permit to be eligible to enter the UK under the Surinder Singh route. You must also have lived in an EEA country with a recognised British Citizen as part of the family. The British member of the family can be your:

      • Parent
      • Spouse
      • Grandparent; (if you are under 21 years old and dependent on them) (or)
      • Your child or grandchild (if you depend on them).

      While living in Europe, the British citizen must have been “exercising treaty rights” which means that they were either working, studying, genuinely seeking work or supporting themselves financially.

      As of February 2017, the right of appeal for visa applications made using the Surinder Singh route was curtailed which means that, if your application is refused, there is no way for you to appeal the refusal. As a result, it is highly advisable that, if you are considering entering the UK using this route, you seek the help of an immigration lawyer. Our lawyers ensure that your application has been completed properly and that your chances of success are therefore maximised.
