EU Residence card, which line/queue at airport when visiting

Post by Californiaguy » Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:18 pm

Hi,

I have a EU residence card from the UK. When I've been traveling to the continent, I usually stand in the non EU/EEA passport queue (as a US Citizen I do not need to obtain a visa beforehand) but when I come back to the UK I use the EU/EEA queue. I'm traveling this week to Norway and it occurred to me for the first time; wouldn't the same rules apply in other EU/EEA Countries; that I use the EU/EEA queue and the guards are not allowed to stamp my passport, just like the UK border guards?

Does anyone have any practical experience with this?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
