I’m an Irish citizen now working in Middle East with my husband. My husband is a visa required national. I’ve not been to UK recently after I left Belfast as a kid. Now I want to bring my husband with me to UK. We both are professionals with reasonable job opportunities. My husband is already getti...

Hello! I am an American married to a Romanian who is a qualified person living and working in the UK. A little background: We got married January 6 2018, came to the UK January 12. I received a stamp saying "admitted to the United Kingdom under the immigration (EEA) regulations 2016" after showing ...

Arrived in Milano Bergamo we queued in the "EU/EEA/CH" line and at the border I showed to the italian police officer our passports and her Residence Card telling him "she is my wife". Without saying a word the officer put the Card in a reading machine, stamped my wife's passport and let us in. Not ...

Our success story: I am an Italian citizen working in the UK, my wife is from the Philippines and she is holding a Residence Card of a Family member of a Union Citizen issued on August 2017. My wife's passport has two expired Schengen Visas and an expired EEA Family Permit. 22nd of February: Ryanair...

I am planning to apply for Schengen visa for my wife (travelling together) and for travel tickets, thinking of booking bus tickets mainly for visa purpose. The requirement is to have all the names of passengers on the ticket but with bus tickets they only put name of Lead passenger (eg in case of N...

Your wife doesn't need PR in order for you to apply for an EEA Family Permit. She does however, have to prove that she is exercising her Treaty rights in the UK as qualified person. See the information on Treaty rights in the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eea-nationals-...

Has anyone entered the UK from EU national gates instead of other nationalties gates at any airport using their RC issued in the UK? We arrived at Gatwick airport last Wednesday. I asked my wife (she is BG citizen) to use ''other nationalities'' gates as a family. The officer looked at our RCs (the...

You can request a Schengen visa as a spouse on Spanish citizen at any Spanish embassy in the world, I don’t know about Spanish law but Italy for example requires that the marriage is registered in Italy but it’s the embassy itself to do it.

You are British citizen, you can not use EEA laws in the UK, I don't know if you can use EEA laws through your EEA wife to apply for an EEA family permit for EFM for your sister. I think it is possible. The Lounes case suggests that one retains the advantage of EU freedom of movement law even after...

I, 37 years old, from Bangladesh, came to the UK under HSMP in July 2007. Later moved to Tier 1 General and completed by 05 years stay and granted ILR in 2012. In 2013, I had been granted naturalization to become British national. I get married in late 2015. My wife is a Polish national. We are bot...

If she has the the UK residence card there is no need for a Schengenvisa if she travels with you. Should she travel alone or with her mother she still needs a visa but it's not free. Besides: if someone has a UK visa he or she does not need the Airport transit visa (ATV) from a Schengen country. So...

To clarify: not visa denied but application not processed at all. It guess it is policy about minors. Btw. did you think about the offloading problem in the Philippines. It is not so easy to leave the Philippines as a citizen of the Philippines. Yes I know, but she already got her EEA FP for the Uk...

I think I found a very close one - application for the extended family member. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-a-registration-certificate-or-residence-card-for-an-extended-family-member-form-eea-efm Still searching for the "spouse" one... These are the paper forms, for the EPRS...

I'm confused now. I understand that we couldn't use the EPRS (European Passport Return Service) for my wife's residence application (EEA2) since I am *not* the person who's making the application. To be able to use EPRS, there must be an application under my name. I can apply for the Residence Cert...

To clarify: not visa denied but application not processed at all.

Hmm, I understand. Thanks. What about the request for document return? Do you have any information on that? I suppose you can ask for the return of documents for "business travel" reasons. Do you need to hand it in again when you are finished with your travels? Thank you for your replies, by the wa...

Hello, my non EEA stepdaughter’s Schengen visa application has been refused (they sent her home) by the German embassy in Manila because she didn’t have with her a special power of attorney but only an authorization letter from her mom ( my wife who is here with me in UK) to her grandmother. Is it i...

Thanks for the quick response dan1988uk. I have come upon the actual EEA2 application form and on it there actually is an option for us to not submit my passport. You can choose NO and state a reason to why not. Would you say this could affect the outcome of my wife's residence application? I guess...

Hi there, I have recently stumbled upon this forum and found it to be extremely helpful. I have browsed through many topics but couldn't find the answer to my unique question. Hope someone is there to help me! I am a dual-citizenship owner EEA national (Italian and Turkish) and my wife is non-EEA (...

Thanks for your reply, in section 21 i checked visiting family or friends. Did they gave you a reply within the 15 days or did it also take longer?

You should have put “other” and add “family member EU”, the law says maximum 15 days unless more time for verification is necessary

And one more thing this stay of unconditional is the duration of the visit visa which I am already having or it's more three months since the time I entered Italy??means this three months unconditional stay is beyond the 90 days time of my visit visa along with my EU spouse?? Where are you living n...

Sorry for not mentioning that part, i'm a Dutch Passport holder who lives and works in Belgium for at least 10 years now, and my wife and daughter both have the philippine nationality. Visa should be free of charge but some embassies in Manila don’t know that, I am Italian living in the UK and when...

It looks not so easy. Joining a french spouse in France is normally not covered from the directive. If the OP would have a EEA residence card he wouldn't need a visa. Wife is already in France, he will be travelling alone, even if holding a residence card and travelling to join his spouse it's unli...
