Could someone please let me know, if it is my intention as an EU national to reside in another member state and to have my non-EU husband to move with me, is it good enough to apply for a tourist visa to enter that member state or do we need some sort of long term residency visa? My husband applied ...

However, some embassies are just arsey about issuing visas - the Spanish embassy is known to be tough, rude and somewhat unsympathetic and don't want to give visas valid for a long time. The French embassy are nicer, but I don't know about the German embassy or Italian embassy - it might depend on ...

He had Italian residency, which I take it is the same as having a Schengen visa, but he left Italy in 2002. We've only been married for a month, but have known each other for years. We've lived together since we've been married and before that we lived together in Algeria for 5 months while we were ...

Heard from Citizen's Rights, but their reply was just to ask Solvit Malta and get info from the EU Commission via their website where you request documents and info, so all in all that was completely useless! :( My husband doesn't currently reside in the UK, we're both currently in North Africa, but...

They reckon that any EU Consulate is within their right to ask us to provide information on employment and earnings and all the other information that is starred on the application form as not to be answered by EU family members, an...

We had a bit of an idiot at the Consul, and I'm not even sure he considered the application as anything other than a normal tourist visa. Another example of Consular staff not knowing basic EU rights I think :( We have contacted Solvit and are also appealing the decision, but the Consulate were insi...

We did not get a reason for the refusal in the reply, apparently they say they don't have to give reasons, but the last question we were asked in our fortnight long saga in trying to apply for the visa was whether or not my husband was UK resident and if not we had to supply evidence that he could g...

I forgot to mention, my husband was resident in Italy from 1996 to 2002, so will this stand for anything when it comes to him having to live in the EU at all?

I am British and married to an Algerian. I am normally UK resident, but my husband currently resides outside of the EU. I thought I would be able to "exercise Treaty rights" and that my husband would be able to apply for a Schengen visa as an EU spouse and that we would be able to move to ...
