EE1 family permits and EEA2

[Lisamra]

Hi there.
I am a British woman with a British passport. I have lived in Tenerife, Spain for over 5 years now and I have been with my wonderful husband for the last 5 years and we married last june (2012)
My husband Elio is from Venezuela and holds a biometric Venezuelan passport.

We have made the decision to move to the UK for many reasons, my parents are there and we want to be close to them as I am an only child and my mother has many health issues and generally for a better life.

Anyway, I went to make an online appointment for the EEA family permit and I thought that we would need to go to the British embassy in Madrid to do this the correct way.
The information that I read said that we need to apply for this when in the UK... I am baffled by this as I thought we would need to have this visa in my hubbys passport before we make the move???

Can someone please enlighten me on this please?

Many thanks
Lisa.

Thank you for that information.
I am still baffled but not quite so much LOL.

So, just so I have this right... we do need to get to the UK and then apply?
It is a big move to make without a guarantee.
