Hi gallicious_505 and noajthan, Thanks for your replies here :-) Re the bank account for my wife, I phoned them up and asked how I go about adding her to my account so it becomes a joint account. They sent me the form to fill in and it arrived yesterday so I filled it in and will send it back tomorr...

Hi gillacious_505, You're welcome and I hope my story can help you and others out in some way. The IO didn't ask anything other than have I been working in Spain, to which I said yes but she didn't request to see any documents or proof. I did hand her over my Spanish residence cards along with my ki...

Hi gallacious_505, Really sorry for the slow reply here, it's been a bit hectic since we got back as you can imagine. The immigration officer at the airport was initially pretty angry that we had travelled without Visa, however, I showed her the Gov print out about travelling with Article 10 card on...

No, there's always a 3 months grace period as per EU law. After that sponsor needs to be a qualified person if not settled. As you are a BC, case law of Eind kicks in; no need for treaty rights from you. And thanks for clarifying this for me too noajthan, I can not tell you how relieved I am to rea...

Hi noajthan,

Thanks for merging my posts, great idea and it will help people in future to see all the steps and the issues we faced.

To gallacious_505, I'm out at the minute but I will message post back here tonight and update you ok.

Cheers

Thank you Obie, it is my intention to do so. I will not let them get away with this.

Hey everyone, My wife arrived to the UK with her Article 10 residence card and her passport was stamped with: 'Admitted to the United Kingdom under the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 for - Three months' I'm British and exercised my treaty rights in Spain and I plan on applying for a UKRC for my ...

Thanks for the replies here everyone, I am very grateful.

I will await the 7-10 days to receive a response from easyjet before I commence my next move.

I will also post back to let you know what they say.

Thanks

Evening everyone, Last night my wife and I (plus our 2 young kids) were at the airport for our flight from Spain to the UK using my wife's Article 10 Spanish residence card and her Thai passport, however she was refused boarding because she didn't have a visa, despite the Directive stating she doesn...

Hi noajthan,

So just go straight ahead and apply yeah?

Interesting, just been reading a bit about the Eind case. Had not heard of that one until you mentioned it.

Hi secret.simon, First of all I want to say thank you so much for you in depth reply and the information contained within it. This is so useful not only to me but for the OP too :mrgreen: I will take your sound advice and get applying for the UK residence card as soon as we have acquired some proof ...

Hi again noajthan, That's really interesting, I didn't realise the UK residence card is optional for a married couple (if one partner is a British right?) So for me (I'm the BC) as long as my wife (the non-EU) lives with me in England for 5 years and we don't get divorced, that's all there is to it?...

Hi noajthan, I'm following this too, thanks for the information. Does SAR = Subject Access Request? (and if so why is this needed?). Also, say the OP did not apply until month number 5 of her husband's Family Permit duration, would he then be able to stay in the UK the following six months waiting f...

Hi noajthan, Thank you for your reply. We aren't quite in the UK yet but will be next month. My kids and I are British citizens and so have British passports, but my wife will enter using her Article 10 Family member residence card (all being well at the airport). I may have confused matters if read...

Hey everyone, Just a quick one: I have been living and working in Spain for the past 5 months with my non EEA wife and we did intend to stay a bit longer. However I have been offered a much higher paying job back in the UK so I handed in my notice to my current employer last month and are due to go ...

Hi rohang_83,

Yeah sure I'll post back on here and let you know how it went. I'm a little bit nervous about the whole thing but I do know my rights so I'm hoping there won't be any issues

We don't fly until September 10th, do you fly before then?

Hi again noajthan,

That is excellent thank you! I will study that document tonight

Have a great day and cheers!

And to Richardw,

Again thanks so much, these forums are so helpful thank to people like you

Hi noajthan, Thank you very much for your fast reply, I am very grateful. That second link you posted was very interesting and has given me a much greater insight of how the Article 10 issue came about. Strange though how it still recommends to apply for a Family Permit before travelling. We did con...

Hi everyone, My wife and I currently live in Spain and are due to fly to the UK in September. She has her Article 10 Spanish residence card as family member of an EU citizen (I'm British) and will be entering with that as per the guidance on the Gov.uk website. Even though I know my rights, I'm conc...

Also to the OP, I have almost competed SS and started off in Bangkok. I think I can help you with preparing documents before you leave Bangkok

Thank you noajthan and casa.

Understood, cheers for taking the time to reply back, much appreciated

Hi Casa,

A question relevant to the OP and me, is PR the same thing as the UK Residence Card? And if so, can you say why it is unlikely the OP's wife may not achieve it with Brexit in mind?

Cheers, Matt

Ha ha ha

Thanks noajthan

Hi everyone, I have completed my EEA(FM) application form by typing out all the information required, however I did notice that at the start of the form it says: "Use a black pen and write names, addresses and similar details in capital letters." I much prefer typing as my handwriting is n...
