Hi , hoping somebody can help us , I am an Irish/UK dual passport holder who was living with my wife in Spain until our baby was born in August 2010 , since then my wife obtained her entry visa and we applied for the eea2 residents card . However at first the eea2 was turned down because of a lack o...

Nonspecifics , as I have stated before , if the question is not asked ie if you are not asked to provide a contract of work / rental contract / or proof of anything else , can they then refuse the permit because you did not provide the evidence for the question they did not ask ? And as I am just pl...

Hi Directive , thanks for the input but the real question is should we be penalised for not answering a question that we did not have to answer ??? As a company director I followed the advice of my accountant , that is all . I filled in the part for self employed people as I have various sources of ...

Hi Directive 2004/38/EC Yes we have clients who pay real money , the fact that over 2 days this week has been dedicated to sorting out the family permit does not seem to enter in to their way of thinking . As I said earlier the refusal is solely based on the lack of National Insurance contributions ...

Thanks Obie , I was planning what you have put forward as the basis for the appeal . I am sure that we have done nothing wrong , obviously as I make more profit I can pay myself more but we have only been trading since the middle of December so are not even in a profitable situation yet . With your ...

Hi Eldane , thanks for the post ,the main gist of what I was saying appears to have been lost ie that the question was a non compulsary question anyway !! Having checked with my accountant , I can pay myself up to £589.38 a month before I have to pay National insurance contributions . There are maj...

Hi John , I am paying myself £400 a month at the moment and will take some as a dividend at the end of the year . This was on the advice of my chartered accountant and I have always done this , as far as I can tell most directors that I know do this !! The rules for company directors are a little d...

Thanks for getting back to me , the exact wording is as follows On 09 June 2011 a letter was sent to you requesting evidence that your EEA sponsor is exercising treaty rights . The letter also stated that if your EEA sponsor is exercising treaty rights as a self employed person then evidence of Nati...

Hi and thanks in advance for any help you can give us My wife ( Moroccan National ) has been refused an EEA2 Due to the fact that I ( UK / Irish ) Have not paid any National Insurance contributions , as a company director I understood that I do not have to !! This appears to be the only reason for t...

Thanks for the replies , the reason that she has not re-applied for the family permit is that I understood that she does not need one if she comes from Europe . (She already has a Spanish id card ), also the consulate in Rabat Morocco has not always been known for being understanding and I was worri...

Well the visa has expired , but she has her Spanish id card so I was thinking of booking a flight to Paris or Brussels and meeting her there !!
I am a little unsure of taking a flight direct to the UK although this is the easiest option

Myself (Irish )and my wife (non EU)were living in Spain exercising treaty rights in that country , however after the birth of our son in August last year we decided to move to the UK . We obtained a family permit from the UK consulate in her home country ( Morocco ) for her to travel to the UK. We w...
