Rozen, are you sure about this? As she is German, won't her husband be issued with a schengen resident permit which would allow him to move around freely within the schengen region?Rozen wrote:As he is non-EU (India), I'm afraid your husband will have to apply for a Schengen visa to visit any of the other EU countries from UK.
Only if they had been moving to Germany after the marriage. But since they are planning on settling in the UK, they will not be getting any sort of German Residence Permit and hence will need the Schengen visa as,you are aware, the EEAFP only covers the UK.As she is German, won't her husband be issued with a schengen resident permit which would allow him to move around freely within the schengen region?
I spent half an hour in May talking with the Bundespolizei (formerly BGP) at Munich airport. These are the people responsible for immigration controls. I was asking whether somebody who had a UK or Irish Residence Card required a visa for entry to Germany.evil_grrrl666 wrote:I assume after he gets his family permit, if we want to visit my family in Germany or go anywhere else inside the EU, he will not need any visas, am I right?
I recently travelled to a schengen country from UK and I have 2 year spouse visa, at the airport the check in staff preciously asked whether I have schengen visa (which I had), So if I hadn;t had the visa then I couldn't have board the plane. Same thing happened while arriving in the schengen country. The official checked whether I have schengen visa as I am an non-Eu and stamped on the visa sticker with arrival date. So I assume no visa - no entry.I have not yet tried this yet, and people will point out that the airline may turn you back if you do not have the right visa.
This is probably true if you are not travelling with your EU family member.eliasuk4u wrote:The official checked whether I have schengen visa as I am an non-Eu and stamped on the visa sticker with arrival date. So I assume no visa - no entry.
No, the rights of EU citizens and their spouses are universal and general (apart from Civil Partners, in some cases).dsab85 wrote:I think it depends which Schengen Country you go to. Some countries are changing the requirements for spouses of EU citizens.
The Barroso guide says "Your family members cannot be automatically turned back at the borders if they do not have a valid passport or, if required, an entry visa, when they are able to prove by any other means that they are covered by the right of free movement and residence by establishing their identity and family ties with you." that seems to apply both when they are "with" or "travelling to join" the EU citizen.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:This is probably true if you are not travelling with your EU family member.eliasuk4u wrote:The official checked whether I have schengen visa as I am an non-Eu and stamped on the visa sticker with arrival date.
