hi

i'm french citizen, live and working in UK since 3 years. I'm planning to marry in Pakistan.

I thought i would make a spouse visa under the UK immigration rules but i found out there's a need to be settled in the UK = require five years' legal residence.

I believe I should be looking into is applying for an EEA family permit post marriage (this is an entry clearance similar to a visa). To be clear, evidence of employment would be enough.

Once someone come here, what is the next step ? i believe a eea family permit is not an ILR and i'm not sure that you can go out and come to uk as much as you want.
==> after a eea family permit is there limite of days to follow some procedure ? what should i apply for when the spouse come to uk ?

thanks you very much.
i hope this is the right category to post my request

EEA family permit prior to entry.

Residence card post entry (form EEA2).

Are you asking this query for yourself. If you then being French citizen you donot need visa to return to Uk.
