Well, my wife will be traveling with me, she will carry both her passport and her CoA so....on what basis would they stop her?

Also, we are not going on holiday, I will be working at a Spanish University while my wife will continue working normally as she works from home.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda.

I feel very relieved, cheers

Yes she did, but that family permit is now expired

Thank you very much

Mexicans are definitely non visa nationals. I just don't see the point on applying for a new family permit. How fussy are they? Why would they refuse her entry to the UK on our way back? How risky would be not applying for another family permit?

I have just rang and spoken with a Border Agency officer. She was not very nice to me, I really don't understand why. She accepted to send my wife's passport back but warned me that she may not be admitted in the UK on our way back from Spain if she doesn't apply for another family permit. When I as...

Muchas gracias.

If they sent her passport back, would they put a stamp extending her family permit? If not, when leaving the country she might look like an overstayer. How does that work?

Hello everybody, I am a Spanish national currently living in the UK with my Mexican wife. We are waiting for the outcome of her application for a Residence Card (EEA2) since March 19th. The reason why I am posting is because I have just got a job in a Spanish University and I will have to travel to ...

I was definitely confused, thank you for your explanations. My wife will work in the UK straight away as she works from home and will keep her current job. Does that mean that she could apply for the residence card in a month after her arrival or less? Is the residence card hard to get? We both will...

Hello again,

I'd like to thank you for your help once more, my wife's Family Permit has been approved.

But......only for 6 months!! We really don't know why is it for 6 months instead of 2 years.

Anybody has an explanation?

We're doing it both on paper and online. First you have to do it on paper, then online.....and afterwards you have to book an appointment in the British embassy where you have to bring the paper filled form plus all the supporting documents. Looks like you only have to present the relevant documents...

Here's the link to the full application form, the supporting documents are in page 14

As much as I know we need to translate every document which is not in English, that is:

-Marriage certificate
-Birth Certificate

I've also read that it must be done by a "certified" translator.

So if it doesn't say "official" I assume that I can do it

Yes, I'm Spanish, haha. I've seen that all documents which are not in English must be translated. Can I do it myself as I have a language degree (but not a translation one) or do I have to hire a certified translator? It'd be brilliant if I could do it myself. Last week I was thinking of getting a s...

I'm feeling very confident, thank you for your help.

What about the supporting letter? Do you have to actually post it to the British Embassy or is it enough with just including it with the rest of documents?

Thank you very much for your answers, they are very helpful. I have a question, what´s the difference between a Spousal Visa and an EEA Family Permit (which is what I´m actually applying to)? Also, my wife wrote my address in the UK when signing her job contract both in February (she was with me f...

Hello, My name is Alex, I am a Spanish national currently living in the UK. I got married in Mexico 5 weeks ago and I am trying to bring my Mexican wife to the UK. We are applying for the "Spouse Visa". First of all, I have accomodation (a 3 bedroom house), but no tenancy agreement as my l...
