EU Treaty Rights
Expert guidance on exercising your #EUTreatyRights in Ireland
As a member of the European Union, Ireland grants freedom of movement to nationals of the European Economic Area (#EEANationals) and their family members. Whether you’re an EEA national or a dependent family member, Abbey Blue Legal Ltd can help you navigate every step of securing your #EUTreatyRights in Ireland.
Simplify Your EU Treaty Rights Process
EU Treaty Rights are based on European law that allows EEA citizens to live, work, and study freely in other EU member states. Ireland applies these rights under national and EU legislation.
The relevant legislation includes:
- Directive 2004/38/EC: Governs the right of EU citizens and their family members to move and reside freely within the EU.
- European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) Regulations 2015 (S.I. No. 548 of 2015): Implements EU law into Irish regulations.

Steps to Secure Your EU Treaty Rights in Ireland
- Check Eligibility: Determine if you qualify as a #QualifyingFamilyMember or #PermittedFamilyMember of an EEA national living in Ireland.
- Complete the Application Form: Use Form EU1 for Qualifying Family Members or EU1A for Permitted Family Members.
- Gather Supporting Documents: Include proof of relationship, residence, and evidence of your EEA family member’s employment or resources.

Who Are Qualifying Family Members?
Qualifying family members of an #EEANational include:
- Spouse or civil partner
- Direct descendants (children under 21 or dependent grandchildren)
- Dependent direct relatives in the ascending line (parents or grandparents)
To qualify, your EEA national family member must be exercising their free movement rights in Ireland, such as being employed, self-employed, or studying.
Who Are Permitted Family Members?
Permitted family members include:
- De-facto partners of the EEA national.
- Family members who were:
- Dependent on the EEA national in their previous country of residence.
- Part of the household of the EEA national.
- In need of personal care due to serious health grounds.
Both you and your EEA national family member must live in Ireland, and the EEA national must be exercising their free movement rights.
