Re: British Citizenship - New Online Application

Hello all, To the ones who have submitted applications online - has anyone completed the process and gain their naturalisation/citizenship? If yes, how long did that take?

Re: Application for PR or PR card: form EEA (PR) - UpToDate

Hi All, I had become a member of this board nearly 6 years ago when I was going to apply for a temporary residence card in the UK as a non- EEA Family Member of a EEA National. The advice and discussions here proved very valuable for me, not only for the application itself, but also for visa-free tr...

Can't thank you enough! Despite the incomplete transposition, we tick the boxes, so there shouldn't be any problems. Fingers crossed!
we're off tomorrow, so if all goes well, I'll update the post with a success story.

Many Thanks!

I'm more concerned about Finnish authorities letting me pass than Ryanair really. And yes, because I am not married to my partner, and therefore don't hhave a marriage certificate to show, Ryanair always has issues accepting it.

Thank you! While the Finnish website talks a lot about Schengen, they don't say much about EU/EEA...They do say something along the lines of not having to pay for a visa, but nothing about visa-free travel. And each country seems to have its own intepretation of the directive. Hence my query... to s...
