Dear all, Thanks for all comments and advice. Just to update you getting the passport from Belgium is impossible as the Somali embassy is not issuing passports now. I have got in touch with our embassy in Rome. They have asked me to come and submit my biometrics etc. The application will then be pro...

Many thanks Jambo! Much appreciated. I was told that if the stamp wasn't on my new passport and I won't be able to work. Is that true?

Also I am still not clear if I will have issues when I submit eaa4 to obtain PR later or not because of his employment intruption.

Sorry to be a pain but was recently rejected entry to Denmark in October despite travelling with my husband on the basis they don't aknowledge Somali passport and I have this in writing. It's slightly different issue but what I have reali...

Sorry Jambo! Just understood what you meant now! Belgium won't let me in with less than 6 month validity as far as I understand.

Are you sure about info regarding Belgium with less than 6 months validity? If so please let me know source of information as this contradicts what I was told. Also, if I was successful my old passport 'with residency card' becomes invalid. Will that affect entry back to UK or make RC invalid as wel...

Hello,

Do you mind me asking if you were successful to resolve your issue or not? And if so, how? We are more or less in the same boat with the exception that my passport will expire soon and my child is an EU citizen.

Many thanks,
