Can you re-enter the UK on COA?

Can someone please tell me what does the COA for EEA2 consist? Is it enough for a visa national to board a flight from outside the EU or they will need to apply for another EEA FP?

One can travel to Swiss on a Schengen visa , IMO.

There should be no immigration checks within the Schengen area (except for special events). But having ID is compulsory in some member states (I do not know about Spain and Sweden). Also, airlines most likely will insist on some form of ID which a UK RC is probably not. Does the airline ask for a P...

Re: on employers

newbieholland for some reason does not want to get this confirmation from UKBA, and seems to think it is reasonable to require from any third party to verify his rights (when he wants to exercise them) from scratch over and over again. What makes you say that I do not want to? Are you a psychic? I ...

I have no issues working here on an expired EEA FP at all as my employer does understand my rights. Well, good for you that your employer does understand your rights, but I think he does not understand his own obligations. The probability of it happening may be small, but if his business is honoure...

This question is impossible to answer, and I also don't see why it matters. Getting the CoA and getting your passport back are two totally unrelated events. Anyway, unless you really need your passport back immediately, better wait until you already have the CoA to request it back. Hey dude... You ...

I know the best thing to do is apply for an RC but that means my work getting affected. If you say even yourself that it is the best thing to do, then do it ! I have no idea why your work should be affected. You can ask your passport back pretty soon after the application has been submitted, withou...

In general a visa national will have a hard time getting to a border. If one gets to a border, it is possible to enter if one can demonstrate that one qualifies. Make your life easy, get the residence card sorted out or at least allow enough time abroad to get another family permit. Getting to the ...

Apply for EEA2 or not?

Hi All, I am a visa national on an EEA FP which has already expired (Surinder Singh ruling). The UKBA site clearly states the following - You do not need to obtain documents confirming your right of residence in the UK if you are a family member of an EEA national. However, you may be inconvenienced...

You can enter Ireland with a residence card (valid for 5 years) which is issued under article 10 i.e. family member of an EU citizen. EU1 & EU3 are residence permits issued in the Ireland and they are irrelevant for your query.

Re: Border control and Schengen permit

What happens if it is a five years residence permit and not permanent RC ? National or under Directive 2004/38/EC? I am not 100% sure, but i believe the right is lost when you are de-registered, but can be restored upon return to Germany. Ofcourse under the Directive. I am aware of the fact that th...
