No one would give you a temporary travel document if you haven't had a passport before. First time passport application takes longer to be issued due to identify checks so why would IPS issue you a different document without checking your identity. Apply for a passport immediately after the citizen...

What is the nature of the emergency? For both posters above, thanks for replies- the following all apply (1 and 2 are urgent): 1. I want to go to a country on holiday that once entered makes it impossible to go to another country due to the political differences; 2. I also need to register to live ...

Greetings- will attending the citizenship ceremony soon in London but have a problem: I need emergency travel docs because a 1st UK passport is going to take 4-6 weeks. I don't want to use my current passport because of stamp/visa issues to country I'm traveling to. Will I stand a chance of quickly ...

Sorry for my late reply, hope it still helps.

appreciated, thanks

excellent, thank you- busy printing as we speak.

I should have also pointed you to https://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/0 ... ber-state/ Well worth reading.

Yes, exactly- and surely his nationality is completely irrelevant in terms of his status as a non-eu family member and the rights that entitles him to.. seems to me that every country who signed up to the maastricht treaty are doing their level best to circumvent it !! even the originators !! some o...

ok, seems I've taken it as far as I can: Should I escalate to Solvit? their reply: Dear yy, Indeed the procedure is more complex than you might think, because the assumption that your son (and even many independent EU-citizens for that matter) is entitled to the same rights as any national of the Ne...

ok thanks. yes, I am worried about timing - May 1 to get university application in (start is september ) but I assume we can change address etc before the start date, after the application is sent in. ..... would you say 20-25,000 euro in a savings account would be acceptable as self sufficient? I a...

I am going to spend a week or so trying to get something positive from them, before escalating, mainly to try and keep best relations with the contact person at the university. After a couple more 'hospital passes' between various staff members it seems I am now speaking to a decision maker. His rep...

ok guys this is the reply I got a couple of weeks ago: (my concern being I gave them all the information pertaining to eu rights but still they seem to be asking for higher fees). Would appreciate advice on the best response- should I enroll first and then only after enrolling challenge them....or ...

ok, thanks I'll keep on trawling the internet for info specific to Holland/Belgium ... have tried a couple of uni sites but all very fuzzy info at the moment from them, as it applies to our circumstance. A kinda catch-all reply without committing. I have no idea about the Netherlands or Belgium. I d...

ok, thanks- do you perhaps know if Belgium or Holland apply anything like a 3-year rule on their own citizens/ expats returning from overseas? This should then answer my question about whether I will be in for the high fees or low fees if I decide to send my dependent child to uni in either of these...

If I am the UK citizen, but my dependent child is going straight from the middle east where we are currently expats, to live with me in Holland/Belgium where I will be working, (i.e.- child not even entering the UK), then are we still subject to the UK 3-year rule (based on what we would be subject ...

does anyone know what the situation is for Holland or Belgium? is there a 3 year rule there too? Pretty hard on expats returning for whatever reason to be told to pay these ridiculous fees in the uk. Exactly but that was not obvious from your original post. You merely said that 'it is not allowed to...

Thank you Basically, if you have a dependent or underage child, they can live with you in any EU country you are living in (except the UK, your home country). As a resident they should be charged exactly the same fees as a citizen of the country where they are residing. It is not allowed to have a d...

brilliant, thanks for this info

Sincere thanks for both replies, yes uk acquired later in life with restrictions on children over 18. re- item 4. thanks- I too cannot find any documentation supporting, so still googling away for something that is specific. I did get a reply from a university that says we will pay higher fees until...

any comments guys, this is really urgent- there must be someone who knows how this all works, thanks I am a dual UK/Australian citizen looking for work in either Holland/ Belgium. I have a dependent child under 21 who has to to go to university therefore looking at a university in this area too. (Ho...

I am a dual UK/Australian citizen looking for work in either Holland/ Belgium. I have a dependent child under 21 who has to to go to university therefore looking at a university in this area too. (However he does not have uk or eu passport and does not qualify for one as he is an australian national...
