3 Residence Documents issued under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations are not mandatory. These fees will be introduced later in 2013 when the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 have been amended. Full information will be provided on the UKBA website.

does this mean that air lines will have to accept a persons marriage cert ETC as proof of entitlement to enter the uk?

or Derivative Residence... my wifes passport, and our childs birth certificate will facilitate entry clearance to the uk?

Firstly, I have adjusted the title of this topic, removing the reference to 6th April, as clearly these particular fees, if introduced, will not be introduced from that date.

Secondly, you mention regulations but UKBA acknowledges those regulations will need to be changed before the fees can be introduced. And that will take time.

Thirdly, are the fees legal in terms of the EU Directive? Very debatable, and I shall not be surprised if UKBA end up backing down on this issue. But we shall just have to wait and see.
