Travelling to france with family member stamp

Post by matrixsheen » Wed Jul 20, 2011 4:55 pm

Hi All,

Just a quick question since im a bit confused about the 2004/38/EC Directive
I'm a non eea family member and I currently hold a Family Residence Stamp here in the UK, with 5 years validity.
I understand that under the EU free-movement rights if im accompanied by my parents whom are EU nationals and providing a copy of my birth certificate I wouldn't need a visa to travel to France?

Though on here https://www.tlscontact.com/gb2fr/help.p ... _residency
it states that
Please note the the exact words "Family Member of an EEA national" must be written on your residency card
Though on my vignette it just says "Family Member Residence Stamp" with Remarks saying "Authorised family member: No restrictions on employment in the UK"

Is there a difference between Residence Card and Residence stamp?

i've had many schengen visas before but this is kind of a last minute travel plans so I dont think i will be able to obtain a visa in time.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
ms

What is the citizenship of your EU/EEA family member?

Does your card not say "Residence Card"? Does it not mention EU or EEA?
