What EU country are you from, and what is your partner's nationality?africunda wrote:Hello all,
I have been reading through the forum and a lot very interesting topics are posted here. Thanks to you all for this great site.
I have a question that I did not see answered before and I hope you can help me with it.
My spouse and I are currently living in Ireland. I'm an EU national, but my partner is a non-EU national. I recently got a very interesting job opportunity in UK and I understood from this site that in order for us to come and live/work in the UK my non EU spouse needs to apply for an EEA family permit (visa).

Thank you for your response .To elaborate on our situation, I'm a Belgian and my husband is a Nigerian. Does that change anything about the situation? We got married here in Ireland but he hasn't received his permanent resident card base on his marriage right yet.
He is currently holding a temporary refugee identity card here in Ireland which is renewable every three months as his asylum procedure is still on going despite our marriage. I do not know if this is regarded as a legal resident permit in order to satisfy the EEA family Visa requirement that reqiures the non EU spouse to be legally resident in the host member state from where application is being sought. I'm really worried about this as I can't afford to forego my new job in the UK neither do I want to leave my husband behind.
Please someone need to make this happen. Once again thanks for your assistance and I'll appreciate more counsel if possible.
