Simple EEA Family Permit question

Post by Shady Ahmad » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:00 pm

Hello All,

I am applying soon for an EEA Family Permit and there was a point or 2 which is not very clear to me and I hope someone can help.

The Form I am filling is this one http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/ ... 03073/vaf5

On page 09 there is the section 8.6 named (Your EEA Residency) where you find this only one question:

8.6.1 Do you have a valid residence card or visa for an EEA member country? Put a cross (x) in the relevant box
If ‘Yes’ go to Part 9 - Additional Information. If ‘No’ you must complete the following sections


Concerning this question: I already have a Hungarian residence card valid for 5 years. Does this mean I go to part 9 directly and totally skipping part 8.9 Your Life In The UK and part 8.10 EEA National’s current finances and employment (Both are 2 pages later; page 11)

As I know from many forums and information from the http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk. They always ask about where and how will you manage your living in the UK.

I guess I missunderstood something though if this is the case it would help me getting rid of all the headache answering and prooving them :)

Can someone enlighten me of what am I missing in here? :)

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your reply :)

I think I just couldn't believe that the EEA Family Permit can be done without those 2 requirements whatsoever due to the huge amount of complaints and problems people are having as I see through rowsing some forums.

Is this change is due to the complaints against the UK policy and the lots of requirements that is not alligned with the EU laws? Was just wondering as I have no background about these laws and stuffs as I never had any problem with the Hungarian authorities to get the residence card or prooving my Marriage which was done 2 years ago in another country.

Anyway Thanks again and I guess i will be applying next week then :)
