Your EEA Family Permit is expired if it was issued 3 years ago, so it's useless. You're not obliged to apply for a UK Residence Card, but it's very useful for many reasons. Your present predicament, for example. Have you never left the UK in three years? Who are you intending to fly to Ireland with by the way? And, equally important, for your return to the UK?ukeea wrote:I have one question regarding the residence card, that does mean that I can exchange my EEA permit for a Residence Card?

Not really. By law it must be issued as soon as possible. Seven working days is reasonable.ukeea wrote:They said takes 7 working days to get a visa, I only want to go over the weekend, I can't wait almost 2 weeks!
Is there a way to get the visa faster? calling that 900 number maybe?
Ah, so you do have a UK Residence Card!ukeea wrote:Hello Ben,
After checking my permit again it says:
"Residence Documentation"
"Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National"
Valid until: 23 Mar / mar 14
So... if it is a residence card, can I go then?
Thanks

Thank you, my only concern is that sometimes the airlines are not aware of it, any chance to get a law or directive that will show them I'm allowed to travel?
