Surinder Singh Application Process in Scotland
The “Surinder Singh” immigration route meant that foreign nationals who were living in the EU or EEA with a British citizen could come to live in the UK under the EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit.
Eligible family members, such as spouses, children, parents, and any British family member, could apply under this route. Civil partner is also recognized as one of the eligible family members. The Surinder Singh route was created following a High Court case in 1992, which ruled that freedom of movement included the freedom to return to your home country and that eligible family members could come with you.
This case significantly impacted UK immigration law, establishing the right for an EU citizen to return to the UK with their non-EEA spouse, emphasizing the importance of the family relationship. While this route was closed on 29th March 2022, late applications will be considered under certain circumstances.
