I have a few concerns already though, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. 1. When am I abl...

Hi, I'm Polish, my boyfriend is Chilean, and we're looking to move to the UK in a few months. Marriage is something that we have talked about but it's not 100%, more than anything I want him to get a sense of living in Europe before making that commitment. As a Chilean he can enter the UK to study ...

Does anyone know how the fiancee EEA FP visa differ from usual Fiance(e)s and proposed civil partners visa ? Apart from the obvious fact that the first is available for EU citizens who have not acquired the right of permanent residence yet while the second is for fiance(e)s of those who have settle...

If you want to ensure that you don't have to leave ever, then I would have to say it would be your best bet to apply for Irish Citizenship, even though it takes so long. If your family moved to the Netherlands, you would be starting from scratch in terms of citizenship, plus the Dutch don't recognis...

The official guidance on the website of the Dutch Embassy explains it all: http://www.dutchembassyuk.org/consular/index.php?i=261 Only when you travel together (or join your partner in the Netherlands) they accept RC instead of visa. Far more restrictive than directive 2004/38 allows, in my opinion...

If you have a Residence Card, they should not stamp the passport. Does not matter who you are traveling with (or not), or which queue you use. Line up at the EEA queue. If they have a problem with that they can always ask you to move to the other queue... Arriving alone in Amsterdam with a UK-issue...

Hi! I'm travelling for the first time since getting my EEA Residence permit. I will be flying alone to Amsterdam and then will be returning my Eurostar alone. I will be meeting my partner there, but she has business after the holiday, so it'll just be me. Questions: When I arrive at Amsterdam-Schipo...

CAN I START WORKING WHEN I GET MY COA ??? THANX ALOT Yes, you're COA should state that you have the right to work, and this should be enough for companies to hire you. However, I never tried as I'm currently studying. However, you won't be able to apply for an NI number. I tried and they said you h...

Sorry, not trying to hijack this thread, but does your residency on the RC and then the PR count for Citizenship? Just curious as this is something my partner and I are hoping for, and if not, then we might move to NL in the future so I can get Dutch Citizenship and just make things that much easie...

Yes, that is correct. It is very advisable to make sure that you always have a valid - EEA Family Permit, or - Residence Card, or - Permanent Residence Card You will not lose your rights if you have none of these, but it will be difficult to exercise your rights, like re-entering the UK coming back...

You do not need to obtain documents confirming your right of residence in the UK if you are a family member of an EEA national. However, you may be inconvenienced if you do not obtain this confirmation, as: you may have difficulty proving that you are lawfully resident in the UK; if you leave the U...

Your wife is only allowed to work in the EU country where you...

Like above, you need to send the original passport. If you need it back, it isn't a problem. It usually takes about 4 weeks to get your COA. Once you have that, you can request the EEA national's passport back. It took less than a week for them to return my partner's passport. She did have travel pl...

I'm curious about this as well. My partner (EU National) makes a lot of day trips to meet clients. Can we just submit a copy of her passport? If so ,would it have to be notarized?

Hello, As far as i know, that applicants who are not the EEA National do need to submit their passport, but the EEA National only needs to give in a Cop...
