You do have to pay. My wife is an EU citizen and paid 7 lev for her registration certificate in bulgaria. Family members of EU citizens also pay around that sum. This is perfectly legal, as bulgarians also pay around that sum the get their id cards. As far as the Directive goes, read Article 25, poi...
This is the application form your wife has to fill: http://egov.bg/docs/100001083.pdf On the application form there is a question how you entered bulgaria, and the boxes are: without visa, transit visa, short term visa, or d visa. They also ask reason for travel to bg. You can put accompany eu citiz...
I am from Bulgaria, and fly very often, and I have never been check on exit from IO. I don't even use passport and use my id card. To the poster above that said that Bulgaria and Romania are crappy, please go visit before you make statements like that. Since Bulgaria joined the EU, 30000 people move...
EU Family Permits don't fall under the Immigration Law, and even if they are expired people with such permits have the right to work and stay in the UK as they get this right through being married and living with EU citizens. THis right doesn't depend on administrative permission as they have this r...
Read point 16 in chapter 4 of the instructions of the European directorate within the homeoffice: http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/ecis/ Basically, she could go either route, the br1 or the immigration rules route, and she doesn't need entry clearance for that. But...
I am from Bulgaria and I am very thankfull you are challanging these brainless officials. They still tend to thing that they give you permission and don't understand the concept that actually you have the right. My opinion is that the European Commission is well informed of all these breaches of Dir...
in spring of 2007 me and my wife were returning to London from paris with eurostar. I am from Bulgaria and she is from Lithuania. When we got to the IO, we gave them our ID cards, not passports. He looked at us, looked at the IDs, looked at us, and then told us to wait. Then he went to the other IO ...
HI, does anybody know where in London they can do my pictures for DV2009 according to the requirements? Can I just take UK passport picture and scan it, or it is very different standart?
As a Bulgarian living in the UK, I can assure you that they extended the restrictions due to pressure from the SUN and other foreign owned newspapers. Less than 10000 thousands Bulgarians came to the UK in 2007, less than 40% from 2006. On the other hand we have around 30-40000 brits that moved to B...
I think the solutio will come swiftly, but in a few years. I am certain that the European Comission knows about the problem, and want to solve it, but there is something more important, and they are willing to wait. As you understand, the Reform Treaty will be rattified by refferendum in Ireland. TH...
Ok, as a Romanian citizen you have no visa residence issues, you simply move here, I know cause I am a bulgarian and know that for a fact. Open your account at Barclays, they open accounts to EU citizens with just showing a passport or ID card. If you cant, use quickstartuk.co.uk, they will chararge...
I am from BUlgaria, but came to the UK on EEA family permit with my wife who is Lithuanian 2 years ago when BG wasn't EU country. I got a job and we send the documents to the Home Office for EEA Residence Permit for my wife, and Residence Card as a family member of EU citizen for me. 8 weeks later s...
I think that the UK will make it way more difficult for Asians to come over, and I think that they will do that by dropping the restrictions on Bulgarians and Romanians. They will use that as an excuse to why limit other migration, as two more EU countries will be able to work without restriction in...
I read in a russian forum that Family members of bulgarian citizens that have a bulgarian residence card were able to enter Romania and Greece visa free upon a presentation of marriage certificate. In romania they even traveled without the EU spouse.
What document did she received after application? Did you apply after 1st Jan? Did she receive a blue type of booklet with vignette in it? If that's what she got, then she doesn't need to apply for nothing else, and can continue working after divorce. Anyway, you can get the info I gave you on: brit...
As an EEA national she is subject to transitional rules only if she wants to work as an employee. But she can stay as much as she wants as long as she doesn't claim benefits, or if she is self employed. She doensnt need permission from IND for that. So the answer is she can remain in the UK because ...
it is true that impact of us being closer was bigger due to cheap travel. There is another reason I think the NY article is wrong. I don't think they are rasist. They are not politicaly correct, and don't have to be, because schengen europe didn't colonize the same way the british did. They don't ha...
The reason is that those 37 million are very poor and are likely to abuse the immigration system, work illigaly, etc. Thats the only reason. If this will make you feel better, Bulgaria and Romania couldn't travel for a long period to the EU and visas were nightmare to obtain. Only in 2001 visas were...
I am a BUlgarian and thats what the rules are: Bulgarians and Romaninas can enter the UK with Passport or ID card and stay and live in the UK for as long as they wish as long as they are self sufficient, they don't have to apply for permission, or notify the HO that they live here. Bulgarians and Ro...
She is not required to hold residence permit for a few years. she is required to exersice EU right for 4 years. then if she never held residence permit, can apply for both residence permit and ILR
Hi, my wife is EU citizen. She wants to travel to Ireland and possibly get a job there. She wants me to accompany her in this trip. What kind of visa should I apply for? I know that under EU rules family members of EU citizens can accompany the EU citizen. How does that work in practise for Ireland?...
