I note the goverment are not saying much except to say the original case has gone back to the High Court. How long do you expect before they make their own ruling public? I note there is already a lot of negative spin being put on what is a good result for many law abiding citizens.I have always bee...
I have an email stating no fines have ever been issued under that scenario. I believe the same information should be on the "what do they know" site. It was some years ago.
sorry to hear that. Both Wizzair and KLM re clearly in breach of EU law, and you should report both of them. You should also report Wizzair for denying you leave of the UK if you have a valid passport. You should complain to the head immigration officer at the airport involved, to the airlines head ...
If you can get to the border,they can only refuse entry under health and danger to the public clauses. The UK seems to have updated their version off EEA rules to refer to someone who is "economically active" in another EU state, but the ECJ have already stated that this would deny free movement to ...
I have only ever had confirmation from an Easy Jet operative that we could fly without an EEA Family Permit, but i also had a letter from the local UK Embassy stating that although we should have no problem gaining access at the border, they took no responsibilty of saying we could actually get on a...
As previously mentioned, its always a good idea to contact the airline you are flying with in advance, let them know that your spouse has the right under EU law to travel without an EEA FP, and can be cleared at the border.It is a reasonable reason in some cases that you cannot wait for a EEA FP to ...
The non EU is supposed to be travelling with or joining their spouse. If you was in the country already and your wife was to follow, that would seem to be more "normal" to immigration. I only travel with my wife, and i would not be surprised if she was refused entry if travelling alone, even if she ...
Sounds like you are in luck. The UK is accepting residence cards from Germany and Estonia at present without the need of an EEA permit. It would still be wise to check with any airline before travel that they will let you board. Normally email confirmation from an adviser on the airlines helpline wo...
You must be travelling with, or joining your spouse. Its more unusual for the spouse to be travelling after the non EU, but not an impossible situation, and immigration will take evidence that your wife will be joining you later into consideration. Dont be surprised if the airline say you need a visa.
You will be better off contacting the airline that you are travelling with to confirm that they will let you board. If they refuse, you can contact the head immigration officer at the airport you will be leaving from and report that the airline is refusing you leave of the country when you have a va...
Its quite possible. My wifes passport was stamped with a refusal when a EEA family permit was applied for and refused. Their reason being lack of the EU citizen providing evidence of excercising rights in another EU country. I dont believe the the paperwork supplied with the application was even rea...
You have the right to travel if you are joining your spouse, or your spouse will be joining you after your arrival. I would expect for you to be questioned far more and a higher risk of having entry denied if travelling alone, unless you can provide copies of tickets for your wife that have been boo...
Biggest hurdle is getting a carrier to get you to the border. Once there, if you take a copy the relevent EU law with you and you get a border officer who understands your rights, you should get entry. Grounds for denial are based on public health and being a danger to the general public, however i ...
Ask the airline that you are travelling with, they may refuse to let you board without a visa due to the information they get from their database, which is not inline with the relevant EU law. I believe Easy Jet does not use the same system, has told me in the past my wife could travel without a vis...
How are you intending to travel to the UK? Most airlines use a system that will tell them you need a visa to enter the UK, even if under EU law, thats not required. A lot of people turning up at port even with the relevent law documented have been known to get turned away,in France for example. If y...
I read the Advocates General summary this morning, and later read the entire document. Its a great result for Sean and his family. What happens now? The Home Office have been in breach since 2004, and have no real intention of following 2004/38. Whats the next step, how long do the UK have to respon...
Waiting 3 to 6 months for an EEA FP is unacceptable. My wife has just applied for the same permit, and we only supplied the supporting documents required by law, passports and marriage certificate. It clearly states on the VAF 5 that not all the documents requested are neccessary. We have already tr...
Under EU rules you SHOULD be able to travel WITH your wife and enter the UK,as i have done. However, should your wife be travelling alone, i dont see any chance of entry without an EEA family permit,in fact, you may be seen as a British citizen,resident in the UK and so your wife may even need to ap...
If its not entirely clear, both petitions submitted are to do with the breach by UKBA not accepting EU residence cards issued under sec:10, to be used for travel in leiu of a visa. Although we did travel successfully, it was not without the hassle mentioned above. There has been a lot of press about...
Sorry for a delayed response. I had submitted a petition to the European Commitee on petitions several years ago, after we failed to get an EEA Permit within a short period of time, 10 days, and was refused travel with passports, marriage certificate and residence cards for Sweden to the UK, AFTER b...
From reading yesterday. If you get your wife a "right of residence as family member of an EU citizen" residence card in Germany, then you wont need an EEA Family Permit. It seems UKBA now accept German and Estonian resident cards as a visa. Pity they dont see the Swedish issued card in the same ligh...
You realise that you yourself have to rgister yourself for the "right of residence" if staying for more than 3 months? As already stated, you can take/use a UK registerd vehicle for up to 12 months without having to import it. I have done exactly this in Sweden. All UK insurance does cover 3rd party...
I have not been keeping track with recent changes for the last few months. I have 2 petitions one of which has been upheld, in regard to travel with Residence Permits. Im a UK citizen living in Sweden with a Russian wife. I dont understand how and why they are accepting r.p. from Germany and Estonia...
