Visiting UK with Residence card

[koded]

Hi guys, Will like to know residency card holders (from Ireland) are allowed to visit UK with family members without applying for UK visa. I couldn't get good information from the UK embassy in Dublin even after paying for the services. Thanks.

Hi Koded,

I understand your frustration with the UK embassy (no offense but they are way too rude), and the worst is that they are never clear to a simple question, but I found a UK website that will asses your situation and will tell you if you need a visa or not (is a government website).

I hope that helps,

Cheers

You definitely need Visa to accompany your Eu family to the Almighty UK, but most part of the EU is fine without visa. It is not worth risk going without proper visa though you may be lucky to enter but the chance is very parochial.

Good Luck

The finding is that the embassy put me through on the visa to apply for. Initially, I was applying for as a visitor which of course we are only visiting and I couldnt finished the application as I have to pay at the end of the application. Since there was no clear explanation on UKvisa website as to which category of visa for people with residence card or spouse of eu citizen. And the join eu option is not clearly shown on the option and I rang the embassy but the person I spoke to couldnt give me a clear answer either. But I wrote to the embassy and they explained on which option I should choose when making application as spouse of eu citizen. (Others).

Sorry, just saw your post. you have to apply for "join spouse" and you can find it only when you select "others" from the options in their website. It takes 5 days to get the visa.
