If she was working in Spain she would be able to apply for an EEA family permit for her husband under the Surinder Singh ruling, usually a much easier process than applying for a UK visa as it is based on EU law. Can she not find a job? I guess by your words they are not self sufficient. How are the...

You're in West-Africa. You have married an AFRICAN. This makes things very, very hard for you since the EU embassies in Africa are dearly beloved, bigotted and completely ignorant of basic law. So are the Greek embassies all over the world, so should be used to it. In my experience the Greek author...

Remember this is completely different to a UK visa and is based on EU law not UK law - very important to understand. You do not have to be earning a certain amount. No application for us just yet, my fiancé and I are finding it more complicated to get all of our documents together for marriage in S...

Even though my dad is Spanish, I'm British so a foreigner here. As I'm exercising treaty rights we are applying under the Surinder Singh ruling. I'm not going to send any financial evidence or documents at all, just my payslips and work related documents obviously important for my case. I've been ad...

Sounds pretty straightforward, I do not see any problems with you being given the residencia especially as a family member of an EU citizen... To be honest I am glad I can avoid...Last time I went to the oficina de extranjeros they just treated everyone like crap.

I was born in the UK and am applying from Spain (have been working here since August, living here since June). It is my understanding I do not need to show anything remotely financial at all... these sorts of posts worry me!

I believe you have to have been living in Spain for 10 years in order to apply for a Spanish passport. You can get permanent residency though because you have been living in Spain for 5 years. Then in 2014 you could apply for nationality?

Yes, what we have been advised to do is to apply for FP after we are married, if application is not accepted because he does not have legal residency here (been told this is unlikely), we will apply for his residency card and send another application for FP once we have this. But I have read on this...

Thank you Directive/2004/38/EC :)

What do you feel about Spain potentially not recognizing our application as they have in the past failed to recognize a British person in Spain exercising treaty rights? Surely this is not allowed?

Thanks. But I guess he needs this if he is staying for over 3 months, and when we marry we will not be staying much longer... Maybe we can try for the FP and if application not accepted we can apply for the residency card?

Applying for EEA Family Permit from Spain

Hi all, I decided to post here as previously I posted in the general forum last time but my queries are now specifically to do with the EEA route. I am British, exercising treaty rights in Spain since August 2010. My fiance is Albanian and is not here legally but has been living here since June 2010...

Do you really need the bank statements? I thought this was irrelevant to the application...as Nimitta said... Exactly that was the conclusion so far. If you read the EEA regulations as linked to above that becomes very clear. The EUN do not claim otherwise either. Fabulous! I've been working in Spa...

Also no need to back to Albania to marry as long as you marry outside the UK.So Spain is fine to get married and apply for spousal visa there Fingers crossed that Tracy sees my message!
