Hello again, I've just come back from holidays in Poland. Weather was lovely and the flights were "on time". Ta ta ta,ta ta ta, you guessed it, I flew Ryanair. First flight in the morning out of Stansted, armed with everything I needed: Wife, check, Passports, check, print outs of the relevant Dire...
Hi All, To add to this topic thread, me (Italian national) and my de-facto partner (she is a Colombian National) went to Paris with our 8 month old daughter, to watch the Tour De France this year via Eurostar without any problem. They did "date" stamp her passport on the way out and in, but that's i...

Hi All, Just a quick update re my earlier posts on this thread! We went to Paris on the weekend (20/7/2012 to 23/7/2012) to watch the Tour De France arrive in Paris. We went via the Eurostar. I am very happy to say we had absolutely no issue with getting past the border guards at London or Paris. :D...
We've been crossing posts.... An article 10 residence card exempts a family member from the requirement to have a visa. The directive does not say that one has to prove family relationship at the border. What it says is this (in extract). Article 5 1. ...Member States shall grant Union citizens lea...
lol... excellent copy/paste reply from her there. I've just had a thought actually. Do you have the letter UKBA sent with the residence permit thing. I have one which states they are family members of an eea national etc. Might be sufficient... Hey Castor 83, good point. To be honest, I just want t...
I am having an absolute nightmare with TLS for the trip to the Tour De France we want to make.... read e-mail below I sent them (read from the bottom)...

Where are you now? Are you in Estonia or the UK? - I am back in UK (thank god!). I left Tallinn on 13th May, so 4 days later than expected. It was an absoulte mess tbh. I've asked Tallinn airport manager to call UK and confirm with them that it is ok for me to travel. And yes, it was confirmed- I a...

Hi John G, embassy staff, especially from certain regions, sometimes do not know the rules well. I once tested the knowledge of all Schengen embassies by asking the same question, and publishing their replies: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=30020 I came to the conclusion that it´s...

Hi All, I have read this thread with interest. I need advice/help!!?? I'll explain our situation briefly.

The border manual http://register.consilium.europa.eu/pdf/it/06/st15/st15010.it06.pdf Mate, do you have this doc in French? Now the French are saying the same thing as the Italians! I think it's absolutely ridiculous! It's paramount to discrimination because we are not married.... We are thinking o...

Beautiful correspondence! In fairness to the embassy staff, they warned that the problem may be a zealous border guard. Now here's the thing. The article 10 residence card excepts your family member from the visa requirement is traveling with the EU family member. You will most likely be able to bo...
...Imagine the headlines... I can give you one "headline" that happened (I know because I was there): It was in Beirut/Lebanon in the Summer of 2006, when the last war between Lebanon and Israel started. The one and only (and hopefully last) time so far I needed consular protection. "Western" count...
Hi, i have the same case as you, so was looking at your post. I have a son with my wife, who doesnt have a Permanent residence card in the UK. She is a French National, living in the UK for almist 6 years now, so she is eligible for a PR. Can you please give some detailed info about what all you se...

Can you please elaborate on why you "would strongly recommend to establish all nationalities, and apply for all corresponding passports.":?: Hi John, I´d just make sure that she can prove that she has all these nationalities. I would agree that one EU-passport and the Australian will probably be en...
Hi John G ...I looked into applying for a UK Passport for her by virtue of me being an Italian national... I recommend reading >>this<< about the difference between nationality and passport. I´m pretty sure your daughter is Italian (through you / Italian bloodright) AND British (being born to an EE...
Funnily enough, when we got back from Colombia in late January, they hassled me at [UK] border control because my daughter didn't have the EEA thingy on her Australian passport ... after making us wait 15 to 20 min, they eventually let us through stamping her Australian passport for 6 months valid ...
If I were you... I would submit a passport application by post. Include all the relevant documentation. Include a clear cover letter saying that you had PR at the time of the birth. In the cover letter point them at the relevant sections of their guidance. Make sure you photocopy EVERYTHING before ...
