this is more comprehensive: Telegraph . What a poorly written and misinformed article. Oh my word, they have finally admitted that they will lose an ECJ case! See this quote from the Telegraph article: Legal experts believe it would be impossible for the Government to implement all the changes requ...

take a look at the comments on this news . Yeah looks cool, i especially "like" these: Matt - April 27, 2012 at 00:12 Report comment The British people want an EU referendum. Britain, is full up. We cannot take any more unskilled people. 21 Reply to Matt cg.tours - April 26, 2012 at 22:23...

Lets hope for the best. The way i see it, this thing could be resolved this year, if not and the ECJ has to decide then the average processing time for an ECJ case is roughly 2 years in the worst case scenario. If the UK decides to fight to the bitter end, then they could comply round the time of th...

Hello everyone, was just browsing the net when i stumbled on an article about UK Directive 2004/38/EC infringement procedure You can read the article here: http://www.egovmonitor.com/node/49649 and here http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/12/417&format=HTML&aged=0&...

The UK is responsible for Gibraltar as far as the EU is concerned. However, Gibraltar transposes directives itself according to its own procedures. They have a very similar problem with transposition as the UK and appear to only accept residence cards issued by Gibraltar. What's different? Well Gib...

It just occured to me that Code 1A confers the exact same rights as an EEA Family Permit. So the mere existance of Code 1A stamp basically negates the need to get the EEA Permit or at the least makes it redundant. Since if you look at the EEA Permit as "pre arrival visa" for which you need...

The stamp is called Code 1A. You will also get it if your RC application is still in process and you present a CoA at the border. 1. See 5.5.2 Seeking admission at port from the Border Force Operations Manual. 2. It is valid for 6 months and allows employment (same as a Family Permit). It doesn't a...

Summary: It´s not thoroughly checked. If you are checked, explaining that you´re "just" a day-tourist may do the trick. If this still doesn´t work, I´d start the "treaty-rights" talk asking for superiors etc... Thanks so much for sharing, actually this topic is in response to on...

Hello everyone, i am starting a new topic on the subject of crossing from Spain into Gibraltar with an EEA Family Residence Card as per article 10 of Directive 2004/38/EC. For example if an EU citizen and a non-EEA family member holding a Spanish or schengen Residence Card of a Family member as per ...

Hi everyone, i am starting a new topic about the so called stamp Code A1. This is a stamp that is placed in passports of EEA Family members that travel to the UK with the EEA citizen, but do not have an EEA Family Permit or hold a Residence Card of an EU family member issued by a schengen state. Thi...

What happens if it is a five years residence permit and not permanent RC ?

National or under Directive 2004/38/EC?

I am not 100% sure, but i believe the right is lost when you are de-registered, but can be restored upon return to Germany.

I think the OP is asking in a scenario where she moved from Germany to Ireland after having a RC from Germany. If she is staying outside Germany for more than 6 months is her German RC still valid?... Very good question! For my answer I assumed that (somehow) both RCs are valid. If they´re not, the...

In order for us to help you, you need to understand that the Directive does not grant automatic rights to all family members of all EU citizens under all circumstances. In order for the Directive to apply to you, you need to be married or have been in a long lasting durable relationship with the mot...

Dear forum members, on my part i would like to apologise to the OP and others who have been offended by my comments.

I would like to state that it was not my intention, it was just to bring a bit of humor into the discussion.

I wish the OP best of luck in his search.

Since you have lost many appeals that means you have been deported from the UK for breaching immigration laws. As such you are probably blacklisted in the EU making it nearly impossible to get a visa. Why were you deported? Also you can not just live and work in the EU without a reason and without k...

All you have to do is go to the French or the Spanish embassy, there you should see a man wearing a uniform. You need to ask this man for directions and a map to find a hidden cave of wonders. Inside a cave there is a well. Climb down the well, you will see a passage. Walk down the passage you will ...

Hi guys, i have been reading UK Immigration Regulations 2006 again, mainly: Right of admission to the United Kingdom 11.—(1) An EEA national must be admitted to the United Kingdom if he produces on arrival a valid national identity card or passport issued by an EEA State. (2) A person who is not an...

...Here it does not say that the residence card should be issued by the UK authorities, so this could be used as an argument when producing lets say an Italian Family card? Or is there a paragraph where it says "issued by UK authorities"?... It doesnt say so anywhere explicitly, however t...

[remark ca.funke: I split this question out of >>this<< thread, as requested by "EUsmileWEallsmile" (starter of the other thread)] Hi guys, i have been reading UK Immigration Regulations 2006 again, mainly: Right of admission to the United Kingdom 11.—(1) An EEA national must be admitted ...

Hi, I'm in a slightly different (and more tricky) boat. I've been around the web for hours trying to find something definitive. I've printed out the Directive in French (because I'm going to France), but it still isn't exactly 'straight forward'. Grateful for advice. I'm a UK citizen (full British ...

Good day guys, i have a quick question regarding the possibilty to apply under EEA Rules upon returning home after exercising treaty rights in another EU country. Here is the possible scenario: - Italian citizen(or any other EU citizen) living and working in France(or any other EU state) and is marr...

Here is another bit of news this time from the UK-Ireland border. It appears that the UK authorities are starting to increase border control at the Irish border to prevent people holders of an Irish visa from crossing into Northern Ireland to visit the Cultural City of The Year 2012 celebrations tak...

You can't trust what any headline in a UK paper. It's for selling papers. Never let the headline get in the way of a good story. Actually here is another funny paradox, the U.K. seems to give every single person no matter how bizarre a right to political asylum. As you have read in the article i sh...

Terror suspect could be made British citizen ...and I´m not saying this being totally unaffected: I have regular business in Lebanon, which in my case is visiting the parents in law...

Thanks docteurbenway. Just for information, the position of the commission does not actually make it law (Incidentally, I happen to agree with the commission's position). As the UK does not appear to agree with the commission, it may take a court case to resolve. I was just reading the news and tho...
