Hi everyone

I have a question my daughter has right of abode in her Iraqi passport and we want to go to her grandparents in Holland for Christmas. I have to a few schengen country embassies and called as well. Some state they only look at her Iraqi passport others say we don't need a visa another say she's travelling with us so no problem. So the question is does she need a visa or not? If yes which papers do I need?

It's all so confusing regarding the right of abode

Safest to get a Schengen visa for her.

Unfortunately, the CoE-RoA is only valid for the UK. Iraqi passport holders normally require a Schengen visa.

However, if she can satisfactory demonstrate that she is a family member of a British citizen, then they may let her in, under the Directive, Article 5.

4. Where a Union citizen, or a family member who is not a national of a Member State, does not have the necessary travel documents or, if required, the necessary visas, the Member State concerned shall, before turning them back, give such persons every reasonable opportunity to obtain the necessary documents or have them brought to them within a reasonable period of time or to corroborate or prove by other means that they are covered by the right of free movement and residence.

But traveling to the destination may also present problems?
