UK EEA Family Permit vs Residence Permit

Post by marcojr » Thu Feb 06, 2014 9:45 pm

I am bit confuse now...

I can see at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucit ... ts-family/ :
This page explains why the non-European family members of European or Swiss citizens may want to apply for confirmation that they have the right to live in the UK. It also describes the documents that they can apply for.
If a citizen of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland is living in the UK in accordance with the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, their family members who are not EEA or Swiss citizens also have the right to live here.

and I can see at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucit ... ly-permit/ :
This page explains what an EEA family permit is, and whether a non-European family member of a European national will need to obtain an EEA family permit before they can come to the UK.
An EEA family permit is issued overseas to nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who are family members of EEA nationals.

The question: What is the difference ? My wife is Hungarian and I am Brazilian. What I supposed to request ? a EEA FP or a residence permit ? And what is the difference bw both ?

You may apply for an EEA FP from outside the UK only.

You may apply for a residence card from inside the UK only.
