Ok that actually makes a lot of sense now, didnt think it would be that easy for him to go by himself, think its probably best not to take a chance & wait until i can travel with him. Thanks for the advice
As far as im aware it is still valid, my husband (on paper) hasnt moved here long term yet as he is still only on his Family Permit which surely is a temporary permit? And he had his Spanish residency before we even met (gained through work related things not any sponsorship) so unlike his FP it doe...
Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that i always had to travel with him unless he was travelling to be with me the 1st time but like i sadi due to work i cant travel when he needs to go. If it makes a difference it isnt a permanent residence for spain, just a 2 year residency. Would ...
Hi My husband is currently in UK with me on a Family Permit, i am the EU national & he is Non Eu. We havent put in for his residency yet as we are waiting on some legal stuff being sorted out in Spain. However now my husband needs to travel back to Spain for a few days to sort this out but i cant ge...
Hi. I am from N Ireland too so can have both passports. We were both living over in Spain before we got married, i moved home a few months before him to get job, house etc sorted & then we applied for his EU family Permit in Spain, using my Irish Passport & it was given within 6 days, hope this helps
[If he has obtained NI number, gotten employment and opened a bank account. I will advise you make the application now as it takes 6 months and things are very slow at the HO Thanks for your help, he is working at the moment but it is only a temporary position on a week to week basis, do you know i...
Hi I am just looking for some clarification regarding my husbands visa. He is currently living with me here in UK (I am EU national he is non EU) on his 6 months EU Family permit, this expires in September. Do we have to wait until this is almost expired or can we apply for his EE2/residency card no...
Sorry i cant help with most of these answers but i do know that your husband will be able to work immediately on arrival with his FP though you will need to apply for a national insurance number as soon as you get here. They will give you a letter when you apply & most employers will accept this unt...
EEA Family Permit .. with me being from NI my husband would be eligible to apply for an Irish passport after 3 years of living here rather than the 5 for a British one. The spouse of an Irish citizen who has been lawfully resident on the island if Ireland for at least three years may apply for natu...
Like your spouse i am from Northern ireland so could apply for either. We recently applied for, and were issued a family permit for my husband. We went for it over the Spouse visa mainly for cost & time reasons, our FP was free & took 10 days as opposed to £600 or £700 & a few months wait for the ...
Dont know if this helps or not but my husband just got his EA family permit last week. We got married in Nov 08 & were both living in Spain but we never changed my address so that we were registered at the same address. My job then finished & i moved back to UK in July 09 so we were actually living ...
Hi. I apologise if this question has been addressed elsewhere but i couldnt find the info i needed. Is it possible to get a settlement visa for my husband for the UK if he has a suspended sentence in another country ie Spain?
ok thank you whirly that was what i wanted to know. Obviously we hope to be together for a long time but if not i just wouldnt want him to end up worse off but you have cleared this up for me. Thank you
ok let me rephrase my question. My husband has gained absolutely nothing from marrying me. He has held the right to live & work legally in Spain since before we even met. If we did separate would he be left with nothing or would they at least send him back to Spain & return him to his previous statu...
We would be returning under EU law as i have been living & working here for 2 years & he has been working here legally for 3 years. Our marriage is 100% legit (he already has his papers so doesnt need me for that & weve been together for 2 years) but my job is finishing next week & I just want to re...
My husband and i both live here in Spain, he has had residency here on his own for 3 years now but as we have just recently married we would like to move to Ireland (I am Irish and he is Nigerian). My question is - when we move to Ireland he would be there as my spouse, would he have to give up his ...
Yeah of course we will be trying to get jobs as soon as possible, for me this will be much easier than my husband, however we are fully aware of the economic situation in Ireland at the minute. My question is - when we arrive will he be able to claim unemployment benefit UNTIL he gets a job, as he h...
Ok thank you this makes it a bit clearer for me. As we have both been working here in Spain for over 2 years i think the EU citizen route will be the best one. My husbands job has finished last month & as he has been working here he will now be entitled to Paro (unemployment) - as he has been paying...
1 other question - if my husband gets his residency in the south can we travel feely to the North to visit my family or do we need to get a visa each time? Seems crazy if we do but think thats what i read here
I apologise in advance if these questions have been asked many times but i am still a little confused. I am Irish & am getting married to my Nigerian boyfriend in 2 weeks - we both currently live in Spain & will be getting married in Nigeria. We wish to move to Dublin in Dec, what exactly do we have...
Ok thanks thats a bit clearer for me now, i apologise as this is all very new to me! I did try reading that directive but its pretty heavy going, i will go back & try again! Anyway i am now feeling much more positive about our move so thank you for your advice
It might be advisable to get married in Spain (much more easier that way), because to qualify as partners, you definetly need proof of cohabhiting (proof of address for both of you from the same address) but since you have been working in Spain, it means that you are a European citizen because you ...
Thanks. Yes both of us have been working here in Spain for the last 2 years. What exactly do we need to show as proof. We dont have anything in both our names as we havent been living together for most of the time, and even when we have it has only been in a room in a shared appartment so we dont ha...
