Hi EUsmileWEallsmile, UK not in the EU, Ireland part of the UK, Vatican/SanMarino in Schengen or most recently >>Switzerland not in Schengen<< ... ...is you listen to what people say carefully, you´ll easily hear any of the above and more incorrect things at some stage. >>This<< diagram helps to be...

Sorry my bad. I forget that Swiss joint the schenegan a few months ago.

Hi Yasser::Norske, any Schengen RP allows you to visit any other Schengen-Country, alone, for up to 90 days without any conditions. There are no passport-checks between Helsinki and Zürich, hence no stamps, hence no-one can really check the 90 days limit, however in theory it is in place. Make sure...

I hope IRE will soon stop stamping the passport of non EU spouse of EU citizen with a residence card from another member state. Hope the UKBA be more human too.What they are doing is definitely against the EU law.

You could, but the procedure is much longer, as you will have to pass the english language test, show you meet the accommodation and maintenance requirement and that your wife is present and settled in the UK, or at least demonstrate an intention on her part to do so, and added to this the visa fee...

Being employed there are deductions from your wages (PRSI deductions I think). I presume they are deductions like in the UK for national health services. As I am paying into this, I am paying into the country so I don't think we would be classed as being a burden to the country. If EU national is n...

Is it possible to apply for a UK spouse visa for a non EU spouse of a UK national after successful EEA FP? I have EEA FP under Surinder Singh and I travelled to UK a couple of times. Can I apply for a UK spouse visa from the country of my residence?

Andy, the UK authorities will look for at least six months residence and pursuance of economic activity in Ireland in order for you to be treated as an EEA national for the purpose of the EEA regs (Singh). EEA FP won't be required unless entering Britain from Ireland on Ryanair. Why six months? I h...

after a certain length of time (9months?) my wife can come with me to the UK. It is not 9 months, that is the time frame for babys to be born :D . Please check one of my earlier posts which can give you more details. I am assuming it to be 10 weeks or more as long as its a genuine work. http://www....

Andy I guess you are not reading between the lines. You are just not happy as I am saying NO when you are expecting the answer to be YES. Read my post carefully and then the legislation you have pasted. Your wife should apply for a EEA FP under Surinder Singh rather than trying to travel on GNIB car...

No you're wrong. So she can transfer her GNIB card for a EEA Family permit to the UK which means she could visit also. NO, I am not wrong . Where did you read that you can transfer a GNIB card to EEA Family permit? I wish that was possible. She can and will have to apply for a EEA FP or a Spouse vi...

Hi all, Now she need to get a new card, do we need to pay anything for Multi-entry and new card or what is the best way to approach this. The GNIB card and re-entry visa is free for Spouse of Irish Citizen & also for Dependents of EU citizen. If she had a GNIB based on parent of an Irish citizen sh...

Can a non-eu spouse travel to the UK to visit, if she has a Irish RC, if her spouse if from the UK. I am from the UK and wondering if my spouse can use her RC to visit UK, when she gets it. Your Non EU spouse can not travel to UK on the Irish GNIB (residence) card. The GNIB would state her national...

Hi I am EEA family member, my wife is polish unfortunately we are getting divorce, we have been married for over three years. we were living together in UK more than 5years. 1)if I get divorce what will be my status ? 2)can I do another marriage. if i marry a non-eea national, can I bring her to UK...

I am looking for the same info. I just feel like I chose a stupid name.

Where is it stated in the directive that only the union citizen can be required to show proof of comprehensive insurance. This might save me some money :) Art. 7 lays out an exhaustive list of requirements for union citizens and art. 10 lays out an equally exhaustive list of requirements for their ...

The Swedish authorities have now begun a practice of demanding comprehensive health insurance for the third-country spouse of a union citizen moving to Sweden. This is, as you may or may not be aware of, not in line with the conditions laid down in Directive 2004/38/EC. Here it is explicitly stated...

Hi Irene, Here is my two cents , I am not an expert but I hope it helps. I feel you should withdraw the appeal and reapply with a strong cover letter explaining the last rejection and informing HO that you are adding new evidence. Also found this on UKBA site which you can mention in your applicatio...

First of all congratulations on your marriage. I wonder how did you get married on a tourist visa in India. Guess its another story to be told. You have the right to travel to Europe under the EU treaty, to any other country than the country where your spouse is from ( in your case Denmark). You can...

I am a UK citizen, husband non eu. with regards to exercising my treaty rights- if i go to greece for example and do unpaid work in exchange for board and lodgings does this count as 'economic activity'. I know it counts as work and my husband would have to get a national visa if he wanted to work ...

This is why I love this forum. Vinny, thanks a lot for the links. It really gave me an insight of what I was looking for.
