EEA FP or Code 1A at the airport?

[stefancamargo]

Hi,

Me and my wife are moving from Germany to the UK this year and I was thinking about getting the code 1A at the airport and don´t apply for EEA FP for pure convenience. What are the negative points of this choice, if there are any?
Thanks in advance

just go for it,don't look back,if u can board the plane then its fine,i doubt u can,but there is another way u can get the code 1A , u need to seek admission at calais port,u need to take the train or bus from germany,and then u can just ask for the stamp.
i don't think u should waste your time to apply for a family permit,they are going to take as long as 3 weeks for a reply and they might refuse.
safe option is to seek admission at port in calais,france.

Do you mind telling whether you are a visa-free national to the UK?

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

Where are you from? Do you want to be able to easily work in the UK on arrival or will you be doing something else? What country is your wife from?

Negative points:

Potential problems with carriers (if a visa national).
More time at immigration arguing your case.

Actually I am italian and my wife is brazilian. Therefore, she is a non-visa national. I am going to start my masters and we will both look for a job.

We are travelling by plane, so calais is not na option for us.

So, the code 1Ais garanteed at the airport?

Both the regulations and the directive allow such entry. Read up on article 5.4 of directive 2004/38/ec.

Many thanks! I hope dealing with the officers at the border will be easier than travelling to munich to deal with this visa.
