How to apply for an EEA family permit
This page explains how a national of a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) can apply for an EEA family permit to come to the UK.
For more information about EEA family permits and who should apply for them, see the EEA family permits page.
There is no application fee for an EEA family permit.
When you apply, you must provide documents to prove your relationship to an EEA national who is coming to the UK or already here. The Supporting documents contains more information.
The EEA national does not need to be present when you make your application. However, the EEA national must be travelling to the UK with you, or must already be in the UK. If they are not, you must apply for a visa instead of an EEA family permit.
Depending on the country where you live, you may need to make your application online or using application form VAF5. To find out which method you should use, see 'More information' below.
You can download application form VAF5 and its guidance notes from the right side of this page.
As part of your application, you will need to enrol your fingerprints and facial image (known as 'biometric information') at a visa application centre.
