Travel on a schengen visa with non EU spouse then settle.?

[Rosiee]

Hello everyone, Im looking for some advice I am a british National and My husband is Turkish. I am living with him in Turkey for the past two years and we want to move to the UK but we want to stay together and think the best way is the EU route its very confusing on how to go about it could anyone that has done this offer any advice and also the safest and best country to go to. Can we just get a normal schengen visa then once arrived at the country I carry out my treaty rights or do we have to apply for a specific non Eu spouse visa beforehand which takes longer whats best .? Thanks in advanced

Yes Schengen visa for Schengen zone country. Or type C visa for non-Schengen country, eg Eire.

You have completely misunderstood what type C is. Its enough to get a family member into a non-Schengen country that issues type-C visas.
Have you read and understood the linked doc?

Yes, you may well face problems in light of UK's November 2015 changes to SS route - have you checked up on the new clauses about circumventing UK Immigration Regs?

And noone knows about Brexit impact of any exit plan so no point agonising over that.
