We are planning to move to the UK in November using SS Route. Non Eu and British couple.
If you have an EUFAM residence Card should we still apply for the EEA Family permit to enter the UJ or would the residence card suffice? I was informed that you can use your Residence Card to enter the UK.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
Which EU country are you in and have the EUFAM from?
You can not enter the UK or board the flight without a UK visa or EEA Permit. But if you are from some EU country?? like Germany, Switzerland etc their Residence card is issued under Article 10,20 then u can travel to the UK alone or with ur husband.
but without having any of the above I am sure you cannot go as the Airlines Staff are very strict and will deny ur boarding.
“An Article 10 residence card is a document which is issued under EU law (‘the Free Movement Directive’) by EEA Member States to non-EEA family members of EEA nationals who are exercising free movement rights in another Member State than that of their nationality. For example, the non-EEA spouse of a French national who is living and working in Italy may be issued with an Article 10 residence card by the Italian authorities.
An Article 10 residence card should feature the wording “Residence Card of a Family Member of a Union Citizen”.
Another document, “Permanent Residence Card of a Family Member of a Union Citizen” issued under Article 20 of the Directive is also acceptable.
