Re: Receiving EU citizenship soon, been in the UK for 3 years

Why he wasn't an EU national at the time is irrelevant and in all likelihood, given he's been in the UK on a visa/as a non-EU national, UKVI will ask him to provide evidence of citizenship prior to Dec 2020. Now, I don't know, but from a purely legal point of view Croatia may have always regarded h...

You need to provide bank statements for the three months directly prior to applying. Throughout the three months, you need to show the required amount for yourself if only you are applying and double that if your partner is also applying for a visa. If you stay 8 days or less, you need to show £500...

Can we travel to Europe with just our marriage certificate (in English)? You could - expect being held up, or possibly not being let on a plane. If you travel by ferry and you allow for the eventuality of having to wait quite a bit before being okayed to travel, this could be an option. Or can we a...
