Hi all

I have a few questions about the new UK visa application form (online). The form has a specific section for those who are applying as an EEA family member.

1) The form asks: "What is your permanant residential address and contact details?" I am living in China and have been here for 7 years. Whilst my parents live in Northern Ireland, I do not have a permanent residential address in any other country in my own name. Is it acceptable for me to just use my Chinese address here?

2) I am not currently living in the UK, but I want to travel to the UK with my partner in the future. In the section about "Travel Information" it says: "What is the main address and contact details of where you will be staying whilst in the UK?". As I, the Irish national, have not decided exactly where we will live yet, how should I answer this question? I will decide where I stay when I enter the UK. Is this acceptable?

3) I will have renounced British citizenship by the time we apply for the EEA FP. Should I take the initiative to send the renunciation document to them first. Or should I not even mention this? (and run the risk that they might suspect my of being a British citizen, even if I have renounced).

Sorry for all the questions! Any ideas are welcome!

Cheers

China is your permanent residential address, that's what you should put, absolutely, your answer for 2 is appropriate, if you renounce your BC, it will be best to send confirmation along with the application. Any other question that you might encounter on the form, that does not seem to serve any purpose in decision making, you can always put not applicable to EEA FP.

Dalebutt, I'm starting to feel that you are my personal advisor....don't know how to thank you! Let me know if you have any plans to come to China....the dumplings are on me!

My pleasure Chao! you'd have left China, and perhaps your partner will be preparing to apply for his Irish citizenship by the time I've saved up enough for the trip Thanks for the offer.

join us in belfast then!

Yea, that's a possibility. 谢谢

Sorry Amber...got a little carried away!

All I said was: "Do you speak Chinese too?"
