If you are in the process of a Surinder Singh route and still abroad, I suggest you read this post about changes in the regulations that intend to make it harder to do a "quick & dirty" Surinder Singh route. You might wish to apply for a EEA Family Permit now to benefit from the trans...

Your time together in the UK is irrelevant to the application. In any case, a decision is based on the evidence not what you state in the cover letter. Thanks, i also have seen that I somehow also put on the permit form under visits to UK December 2012 - June 2012 :(, will they just look at my pass...

Hi Just submitted our application for the EU family permit today at Worldbridge and just realised we got the year wrong on our cover letters which we resided together in the UK-it was 2013 and not 2012 and bank letters I included say 2013..to show I was living at the address with my husband. Is this...

Has anyone received a family permit through self employment without registering as self employed in the EU country? We are in Germany and the tax office has lost our application from a month ago and we were going to get my husbands clients to do receipts for work again with this tax no after we got ...

Hi Was wondering how people have filled these sections in? We are applying for the family permit from Germany on visa4uk/gov.uk/Worldbridge and there is a section asking for ££ saved for trip and how much it will cost? My husband has a job lined up so he will be partially supporting me until I get ...

It would help to continue in your previous thread to give some background. You are a family member of a British national who is returning to the UK under Surinder Singh. The requirements for EEA FP are different from a non UK family member making the application. Check the FAQ. Thanks have done :)

Hi there Was looking at the application form for the EU Family Permit for the UK and had a question re filling it in and supporting eveidence. There is a section entitled 'Family and friends' asking you to list relationships and asking 'What you plan to do in the uk?' Can you write n/a under the EU ...

Can anyone tell me whether my husband can accept a freelance job for the first 2 weeks to count towards the 3 months of employment or does it have to be the same job continously for 3 months? He will bill the company and be paid, the work going until the end of the month, will give time to look for ...

I got my 6 month visa :) Have done some research on the German tax system and there is a tax free threshold of about 8000 euros. Does anyone know how that would affect Surinder Singth and the requirement that my husband pays tax in another EU country if he won't be taxed for the first 8000 euros? H...

Thanks, the lady at the immigration office gave me a sheet of paper stating what i needed to bring and it said account statements showing funds/job offer from employer so I will have to have printouts stating this I think

Is there another thread on this forum by either you or your husband? No there isn't? Do you have any idea about the amount in savings he would be required to have for me to get the family permit seeing as he won't be employed as soon as he arrives? Can I put my savings toward it too? Many thanks Th...

No there isn't?

Do you have any idea about the amount in savings he would be required to have for me to get the family permit seeing as he won't be employed as soon as he arrives?
Can I put my savings toward it too?

Many thanks

Like I said, get your husband to visit you before the time is up. That would be considered the start of his exercising treaty rights in Germany. A short visit would count. Keep evidence such as flight boarding cards. The address can be the place where he is staying, hotel for example. Thanks, I wen...

Presumably your stay in Germany is on your own account right now. I would not encourage anyone to deliberately overstay their visa as it may have repercussions later. If your husband arrives in Germany the day your visa expires or before, then it is no longer an issue. He would be expected to be ex...

Hi there I am married to a British Citizen and as he doesn't satisfy the financial requirement at present so to apply for a visa for me to be with him in the uk, we decided to go via the Surinder Singh route, exercising treaty rights in Germany and then return in a few months. He is currently still ...

Hello I married my british partner in June whilst on a tourist visa and once my visa expired I left the uk to the schengen area and am in germany currently. Originally he was to join me and possibly we go back under an EU family permit after living in another eu country, however, he has started a ne...

Will I need a return ticket to Australia or will a flight somewhere else in Europe be sufficient? Once my husband joins me I will be able to work and reside in an EU country with him but wondering how I go about explaining this? Thanks You will need to satisfy the IO of what your travel intensions ...

RRH, for your entry into IT or DE to be entirely hassle-free (from an immigration stand point), you would need to either be (1) travelling with your husband or (2) joining him. If you wish to go ahead of him then you will need to satisfy the authorities on what basis you wish to independently enter...

Being Australian, you should not encounter entry problems. If you do so on your own, then you will need to satisfy the authorities that you will not be a burden, have sufficient funds, etc. If you travel with or join your EU spouse, you will not have to have any of this. Thank you I will have a cop...

Hi there I recently married my partner in the UK and my visa is to expire in 2 weeks. We are going to live in Germany or Italy but my husband has to work until the end of the month after giving notice. My question is whether I can go to Germany or Italy first with a copy of his UK Passport and our m...
