Trip to UK with Wife (non eu has stamp4EuFam)

Post by Strider1779 » Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:03 pm

Hi all

We are wanting to take a trip to the UK and were wondering do we need a Visa for the UK for my Wife (non eu but with stamp4EuFam)

Am a UK citizen and will be travelling with her.....

No need for a visa for her. Just jump on a plane and off you go. The landing in UK will be via domestic terminal so no issue at that end.

The airline staff in Ireland will ask for her visa which will be the Stamp4EuFam. They may ask you to go to their desk and have the boarding card stamped as visa checked but that about it. I know Ryanair does that, dont know about other airlines. Its probably better to go the airline desk before you go through the security, e.g at bag check in desk and they should guide you through.

I also suggest that you keep your marriage certificate and the INIS approval letter just to be make it seal tight. Remember, she has an EU article 10 card and has a right to travel all around europe along with you. The max anyone can ask you is your marriage certificate to prove she is your spouse and thats it. The airlines know about it so I dont think you will have any issue. But its best to know your rights before you travel so you are prepared in case you are confronted by an idiot.

If you however, plan to drive then just board your car on the ferry and off you go.

Hope this helps. Happy holidays!

seems if you check UKBA website its upto the passport non-EU citizen hold if it requires UK visit visa you will definitely required one as i have came across similar issue always get UK Visit visa first to make my travel handy. I do possess EU FAM stamp4 as well. Ryan air will always ask you for visa even if its stamp4eufam

good luck

Your wife does not need a visa to travel to the UK, the fact that she holds a Stamp 4EUFAM and travelling with you it’s more than enough to get her entry into the UK.
