I can advise the deputy that Form EUTR1 is to be used by each non-EEA national applying for a residence card as a qualifying family member of an EEA national under the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015 as amended, where the applicant and the EEA national are intending to reside in the Republic of Ireland (the “State”) for a period greater than 3 months in the following circumstances:-

  • The non-EEA national is living in the State
  • The EEA national is living in the State
  • The EEA national is exercising their EU Treaty Rights in the State (employed, self-employed, residing with sufficient resources, studying or involuntarily unemployed) and
  • The non-EEA national is a qualifying family member of an EEA national.
A qualifying family member is a non-EEA national who is:-
  • the spouse or recognised civil partner of an EEA national, or
  • a direct descendant (child, grandchild, etc.) of an EEA national or of their non-EEA spouse or
  • civil partner and who must be aged under 21 years;
  • a direct descendant (child, grandchild, etc.) of an EEA national or of their non-EEA spouse or
  • civil partner and who must be dependent on the EEA national
  • a dependent direct relative in the ascending line (parent, grandparent, etc.) of an EEA national or of their non-EEA national spouse or recognised civil partner.
Form EUTR1 can be accessed at the following link:

Queries in relation to the status of individual immigration cases may be made directly to my Department by e-mail using the Oireachtas Mail facility (inisoireachtasmail@justice.ie) which has been specifically established for this purpose. This service enables up to date information on such cases to be obtained without the need to seek information by way of the Parliamentary Questions process. The Deputy may consider using the e-mail service except in cases where the response is, in the Deputy's view, inadequate or too long awaited.
