You can apply as an ‘extended’ family member’, for example a brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, nephew or niece.

You can also apply as an unmarried partner if you can show that you’re in a lasting relationship with the EEA national.
Extended family members and unmarried partners are not guaranteed to get a permit. Your individual circumstances will be considered when you apply.
