Hi All,

Is it possible to apply for EEA2 Unmarried Partner Visa from a British Consulate anywhere in EU?

My boyfriend who is German wanted to relocate here in UK. We want to apply for EEA2 Unmarried Visa for me(non-EU) to a British Consulate in Germany. He will therefore apply as Job Seeker or Self Sufficient in order to exercise his EU treaty rights.

We're wondering if this will work? Or does he have to be here already before we can apply for EEA2 Residence Permit for me?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Brenne

You are using the wrong terms.

EEA2 Residence Card is apply from within the UK. What you need is a EEA Family Permit which acts as an entry clearance ("visa") to enter the UK.

I suggest you read the following page on the UKBA: EEA Family Permit in particular 2.1 - 2.5 & 2.11

He doesn't need to be exercising treaty rights before moving to the UK. You can travel together.

MBrenne,

How long have you been living with your partner? What is your citizenship?
