EEA4 as a dual citizen

Hi there, I've read so many threads on the subject, some of them from a couple of years back and I wanted to get an up to date and concise answer if possible. I'm an Irish/British dual citizen and my partner is Turkish. We applied for the 5 year residency back in 2010 when it seemed less of an issue...

Naturally, I no longer head to border control with the intent of mentioning anything about stamps before the IO takes the passport.. Funnily enough, the last two times we went through have been totally uneventful, not even a single question.. Perhaps that wrote something on their records :D

I think I emphasised the fact that I thought I received poor service at the border and my guessing is that that's what triggered the compensation.. Here's the letter I got (via e-mai...

Last year my partner and I travelled to Bruseels via the Eurostar.

EEA family permits etc hold no weight when it comes to Turkish visa regulations. Without knowing the nationality of the non EEA citizen involved, I can't tell you whether you'd need a visa or not but nearly everyone who does require a visa can purchase one at the border.. There are exceptions though...

Perhaps you're right. I didn't have to sent a British birth certificate, since my Irish passport was considered proof of my identity/nationality. The British form also didn't ask when I entered to the UK, it was more concerned with what I was doing at the time of application (i.e. which right I was ...
