Travelling in the EU on a Second Passport

[siroc]

Hi there,

My passport is currently with the UKBA and I don't anticipate getting a response to my EEA2 Application any time soon. Before sending off my application for the RC, I was living here on an EEA Family Permit which expires mid-December. However, I would like to travel first to Sweden and from there onwards to my wife's homeland of Lithuania with her over the Christmas period.

I have a second passport (New Zealand), which is devoid of any stamps having been recently renewed. I was hoping to travel on that rather than go through the hassle of getting my main passport back.

I assume any border checks would only be done arriving in Sweden, departing Lithuania and arriving back into the UK. My question: If I were to travel on the NZ passport, would I likely encounter any problems with this in Sweden/Lithuania and, perhaps more importantly - be able to reenter the UK on this?

I have a certified photocopy of the ID page of my main (Australian) passport, a letter of acceptane from the UKBA (and hopefully a CoA some time soon) - would presentation of those and something that confirms my address in the UK along with the NZ passport be sufficient?

As a non UK/Schengen visa national, you should have no trouble travelling.

Carry your marriage certificate with you as backup. You will need to produce the CoA (or marriage certificate) to the IO on your return to the UK.

Excellent. Thanks, once again.
