See COA and NI.

To open a bank account, a CoA is not enough as it is not ID document. You will need your passport.

You can request your passport back right now. It often takes a few weeks so do it early. Your application will continue to be processed.

The CoA is just a letter confirming the receipt of your application and your eligibility to work.

If the HO doesn't have your passport when a decision is made they might ask for the passport back to place the vignette or just put it on a standalone A4 paper. There is no rule. It depends on the CW.

If you have another travel document, i.e. an ID card of a EU country, or another passport, you may use those, otherwise I am afraid you cannot travel with a COA. My wife EEA2 application took 8 months, and in the last 4 months she couldn't travel as the then BIA wad holding her only passport, and EU countries and airlines weren't accepting her ID card.

Consequentially I am also afraid you cannot apply for a Schengen visa with a COA.

I presume you mean a passport + CoA (instead of RC). Not just the CoA.

I suggest you contact the relevant embassy and ask if they accept CoA as proof of legal stay in the UK. Have you got a copy of your marriage certificate? You will need that also to show your relationship to the EEA national (if traveling together).

http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/08 ... to-travel/ describes travelling without a visa. Note that it mainly works if you avoid airlines

another doubt

Post by toabetterchange » Wed Jul 04, 2012 8:08 am

guys need your opinion.

I am wondering why I cannot apply for an Schengen visa even if I don't have UK visa at the moment or evn if my UK visa expired...or even waiting for a COA or with COA?

Why I have to wait for that visa(UK residence card) in order to apply and travel to a Schengen country?

Am I not allowed to live or visit those countries? I don't understand what UK visa has to do with Schengen visa?

I think I should be able to get a Schengen visa without questions except certificate of relationship and passports. Am I correct?

Thank you in advance.

You should not need any proof of your current residence in the UK. Apply for a visa from the Germans by post. Such proof is not required in the application.

Germany is also lovely to visit!

Why does everyone want to go to Spain? It is beyond me! (I realize you did not say you want to go to Spain).

If you get your visa from the Germans please let us know how it went. I m so curious to know how they can deliver a shengen visa. Without any form of stay even if you are a family menber of EEA

I am not sure exactly what question you are asking.

But in general the spouse of an EU citizen is almost always legally resident as long as the EU citizen is resident. Also, even if they are not legally resident in the place of application, that should not get in the way of their application to travel to the host EU member state (in this case Germany)
