That's not a resident card, so probably not the same value, but the Family Permit sticker on the passport says:
Okay. So she cannot travel on EEA family Permit (which is not issued in UK) but can travel on EEA Residence Card (issued in UK) or EEA Permanent Residence Card (issued in UK) !!!
Right and most of the airlines don't want to play immigration officer and decide if a visa at the border crossing at the destination airport is possible or not.dan1988uk wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 2:43 pmhttps://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/t ... dex_en.htm
Even EU website states that if the non EU family member does not hold a residence card he/she must have a valid visa to enter the Schengen Area.
No, that's incorrect. The EU document itself mentions the resident card indeed, but, if you read further below in the page you shared:mgb wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 2:58 pm

This I think is where things matter. It is not that I can't travel with my spouse without a visa prior to the trip. It is about what an airline is ready to do, or not, and, more importantly for me (and to stick to the topic) is whether or not I will be able to get some money from the airline. It seems the chances are pretty slim. I personally find it unfair. We have done nothing wrong as far as we know but yet will end up, again, paying. The process of getting married to a foreigner, whatever country you live in, seems to be costly, that's really exhausting at times.dan1988uk wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 2:43 pmRight and most of the airlines don't want to play immigration officer and decide if a visa at the border crossing at the destination airport is possible or not.
Eurostar and the ferries in Dover have the advantage that the french border control is on british ground. They don't have to take a risk.
