Wikipedia is certainly not the final authority here. It matters what the nationality laws (both ES and UK) were like when you were born.

Here a link to the amendment. It's in the definition of "EEA national" in 1(d).

Then the Wikipedia entry must be wrong as it claims that Spaniards by origin may have dual nationality.

I guess we have assumed that you are British because you were born to a British father. Why would that not be the case? Spain may not allow dual-nationality but there are usually exceptions for children.

So what you are essentially asking is if you can use the Singh route? The UKBA would require you to either have been a worker or a self-employed person while in Greece. You may be able to convince border guards with relevant documents. Other people on this forum said it worked for them. When you are...

You probably cannot make use of the EEA route because you are a British citizens. In what way would you have or are you exercising treaty rights? (Only providing cross-EU services come to mind but I wouldn't know how that works in the UK.)

I suppose you mean you have a Residence Card. Visa-free travel is only possible if travelling with or joining the EEA national unless a particular member state relaxes that rule. I seem to remember that the Danish embassy mentioned a while back that one could travel alone with the RC too. Quite poss...

I believe the French implementation does not refer to the RC in particular but to a document establishing the family link. In general it is anyway advisable to take the marriage certificate on the journey.

What they ignorantly keep calling residence 'permit' is actually and quite officially called 'Residence Card' (even in French). Whatever international practice may be it doesn't change the fact that the Directive does not prescribe how the document must look like or be made of, although you could bl...

Re: Tavel with Residence Card - It can be done

What if you have UK PR (eea) in your passport. Can you still travel with your EEA family member??? If you go with this Handbook (PDF, page 91), for instance, the answer is yes. The practical problems are that 1) airlines may entirely rely on their database/handbook (the Timatic web page only refers...

ad 1) Pointless speculation as nobody knows what's going to happen. BTW, it is not the RC that allows the spouse to live in the UK. It is the relationship to the EEA national and them exercising their treaty rights. ad 2) The non-EEA family member must be resident for a continuous period of 5 years....

Slightly confused because you say that the German document is a sticker. Are you yourself a German and have returned under German national immigration regulations? But that's only partly important.

I suppose you mean Residence Card (RC). Residency is not broken for temporary absences of up to six months per year, once for one year for certain important reasons, or longer in case of military service. The practical problem is what your wife would answer if she is asked about your whereabouts.

You are "just" a job seeker (registered and actively looking for a job). You can maintain this status for six months or maybe longer if you can prove (should the need arise) that you have a genuine chance of landing a job. I do not see why to declare yourself as self-sufficient at the moment (which ...
