New EEA Regulations introduced on 16 July 2012‏

The UK government have introduced new EEA Regulations – which govern the rights of EEA nationals and their families to enter and live in the UK.

The new Regulations set out some detailed changes following some important cases in the European Court of Justice.

There are new rights of residence established for certain categories (such as carers and children).

However, a major restriction seems to be introduced for those who are dual nationals - an EEA citizen and also a UK citizen.

The UK Border Agency are maintaining that EEA rights are not applicable to an EEA national who has never exercised his right of free movement, who has always resided in a Member State of which he is a national and who is also a national of another Member State. We remain to see exactly how this will be enforced but it could impact on many applicants.

The UK Border Agency have announced that new application forms will now be introduced to reflect the new Regulations.
