EEA family permit for UK from Ireland

Hi

I am an Irish citizen and would like to apply for EEA family permit for UK for wife. We are married for more than 5 years and have been living in Ireland since marriage.

I would appreciate if anyone can clarify me the following points:
1) How long it will take to receive EEA family permit
2) How long the EEA family permit will be valid for?
3) Can I apply EEA family permit in Ireland?
4) What documents are needed to apply foro EEA family permit
5) Any other visa I can apply and get quickly?

Also would it affect my wife's naturalisation application current in process s(applied late 2009) in Irl if she does not live here.

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Hi
1)EEA family permit should be issued free of charge and with an accelerated process.
2) EEA family permit is valid for 6 Months.
3) Yes you can apply for EEA family permit in Ireland.
4) Your Passport, Your wife's passport and your marriage certificate.
5)I don't know which visa can be quicker but it entirely depend on the visa officer that how long will he take.

Folks,

Can anyone offer their opinion on this? What is the best way to get British visa quickly and apply for longer term i.e Residency later on after reaching there..

Regards

We already gave advice on this thread. Why create another?

And what exactly is your problem, ChIrl? I fail to see it.

I agree that I have received general advice. But, I want to get opinion from persons who has gone thru similar experience in Ireland with British embassy. Also, I want to know the impact of Irish naturalisation application pending for my wife. Also, for applying Residency and Family permit, I will need an address in UK, which I don't have now. So, plan to apply for visit visa initially and go for Residency later on.

No, you don't.

I don't know which form, I was looking at there is a column to specify address and how long you intend to live in UK.

Which you would leave empty if you can't fill it out. In fact, neither is relevant under EEA regulations just like so many other questions in the VAF5 form.

ChIrl, have you decided on how you intend to enter the UK from Ireland? Plane, ferry, bus or train?

Not booked tickets yet. Plan to travel by flight first and final trip by ferry.

Then applying for an EEA FP is a pointless waste of time, hassle and money.

But, we don't want any hurdles when we travel. It may be illegal to travel to UK without valid visa.

It is not illegal if you (collectively) are entering in accordance with the provisions of the Directive.

Are you taking your car over or going as foot passengers?

I agree with your point regarding directive. But, it will be subject to interpretation of the officer at Border controls.

Will be taking Car.
