Both on the same side, a victory against retrospective application of the law will be beneficial to all.

Taxation without representation helped start the American civil war after all.

The Joint Committee's report speaks almost exclusively about HSMP and states clearly that the changes to the HSMP rules must be corrected. The Government however will argue that it has an inherent right via the Immigration Act, to make any necessary changes. The fact that there was always a clause i...

No I drove 10 kilometers all the way to the forum to warn people against accepting the advice and examples from people they dont know. The yawn was just a natural reaction to your post. Maybe I should go to the immigration officials in Paris without a visa and say, "but Monsieur, Docterror said...

But if you are someone for whom the whisper of your right is enough to get you into a fight-for-your-right mode... Yawn I will continue with a few examples of court cases etc so that courageous "naives" might find it useful will not be deterred in trying to enter the Schengen or any other...

It has been shown over and over again on this website that most Schengen embassies are either unaware of or else regularly and routinely flout the immigration laws of their respective countries as and when it suits them. It is naive to think that Directive is a magic potion in reality, in terms of ...

Wrong, the Directive 2004/38 is being negatively interpreted by the Schengen issuing Embassies, and I DO NEED a visa to enter Schengen space. I know that the Signpost people say that the spirit of the Directive is supposed to allow visa free travel for non-EU spouses, but the truth is that ANNEX II ...

Yup got a further reply from the Signpost Service: "Article 5(2) of the Directive 2004/38 states that the possession of a residence card of an EU country shall exempt non-EU citizen family members from visa requirements. For the purposes of this Directive it is of no consequence whether you you...

Dont remember the forms, I do remember I had to go back home to apply, was not allowed to switch while in the UK. My wife has been working on her work permit since December 2004 continuously, with same employer. I was on a working holiday maker and then we were married in 2005 and then I went back h...

My wife is Romanian, and I am listed as a "work permit dependant" on the document that is in my passport. I think that the Signpost folks may believe that I want to move into Schengen space to reside with my EU spouse - not understanding the idea is that I want merely to visit for a short ...

Directive 2004/38/EC - response from Signpost

[quote=He is married to an EU citizen and so has a right of free movement in the EU, which depends only on his family relationship. Various court cases have made this very clear. If he enters a country and does not have the documentation required by the the border guards, they are required by case l...

Schengen visa - moving goalposts

The Spanish Embassy in London requires proof of accomodation, flight details, travel insurance and proof of sufficient funds for non-EU spouses of EU citizens! This is in contravention of EU law is it not? I have written to the Europa citizen's signpost service without any resolution. Directive 2004...
