CAN I TRAVEL ON AN EEA FAMILY PERMIT/ RESIDENCE CARD

Post by Gabriella2305 » Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:29 pm

Hello everyone,

I just want to know once I am married and get my EEA Residence Card will I be able to travel without visas/ schengen visas as long as I am travelling with my husband?

I am South African, my fiance is Irish. Just want to know what documents you have to take with you when you travel? Would we have to take our marriage certificate as proof or would the RC/ FP be sufficient?

Thank you

I just saw the "STICKY" entitles EU countries that allow EU Family members to travel without a visa... Maybe it's just worth me checking the relevant countries entry requirements... just wanted to know if it applied to all countried but it seems i can only travel freely to a selective few

This is 'in-theory' - the reality is all the way you have to convince the airline desk, the check-in girl, the IO at the other end with the ever present risk of being turned back. The airlines err on the side of caution - they don't want to risk a fine.

Depends whether you want a relaxing holiday or battle with authority!

Hi all,
I am currently on a 5 years eea family residence permit valid till 2018. I am living with my wife and we have a 2 months old daughter. I am thinking of traveling to my country,west Africa for a week to attend the funeral of my sister.
I am a part time MSc student, been working since i came to UK (we are not on any benefits).
Question is;
Will i have problems coming back to UK after my stay in my country? Also, it is worth mentioning that i am traveling alone because we can't travel with our two months old daughter.

What additional documents should i take with me in other to ease my entry back to UK?
