Family members who come under regulation 7(1)(a), (b) and [emoji2398] of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 (as amended) (the 2016 regulations) are often called ‘direct’ family members. The following can be considered as direct family members: • spouse or civil partner • direct descendants of the EEA national or their spouse or civil partner who are:
o under the age of 21
o dependants of the EEA national or their spouse or civil partner
• dependent direct relatives in the ascending line of the EEA national or their spouse or civil partner
This applies in all EU countries except the ones you hold a passport for. If the OP has a UK Passport he will have to use the UK immigration rules. The only exception to this is if you have been resident with them while you have been working in another EU country for an unspecified period of time but you must be able to prove 'centre of life' in that country, so 6 months to a year minimum is recommended.
