I think it means "no express time limit". Now, the EEA Regulations state that on entry one gets three months, though its not clear to me what happens if sponsor and family members arrive at different times. I think a stamp valid for 6 months has actually been replaced by one valid for 3 months.
Hi mariee,mariee wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2017 10:49 amI have also received this stamp a week ago at Heathrow I was told there isn't a time limit on its validity. It's new and will replace the 6 month family permit eventually. (I tried Google to find information on it eg. If it can be cancelled at the border, rights to work etc.)
But spoke at length to the immigration officer who dealt with me, you should have no problem obtaining a NINO but advised to get the residence card to speed up the reentry process and proof of rights to work as not many would have seen this stamp![]()
Im going to be travelling back and forth over the next couple of weeks with my spouse to see if I have any issues re-entering the UK before travelling on my own.
Good luck
Congratulations! Which airline policed the boarding?Taphiz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 12:19 amI have a similar NO TIME LIMIT notation on my passport. I flew from Edinburgh to Tenerife with my EEA national wife in late August after my family permit was expired. I was prepared and armed with all possible supporting documents they could ask for. I was stopped by the airline for the return flight but when we insisted and showed our marriage certificate they let us board, after everyone else!

Now I can't even open bank account because the bankers don't understand that this stamp is supposed to be limitless (as long as my EEA wife is in status)!
Overall the experience was a pleasant surprise because I was prepared for a sustained grilling or demands for proof. The only downside being the absence of a time limit on the stamp and so I've found myself trying to explain my status over and over again.
You mentioned several times, that new EEA dependant ink stamp is valid three months, can you be so kind and provide the official source?

Yes, opening bank account is a great challenge with the EEA Dependent Ink Stamp![]()
In one month so far I got :
-NIN
-EHIC CARD
-02 Monthly phone contract![]()
-NHS No.
-Letter from neighbour
-letter from Bank(above)
I believe this evidence should be enough for Residence Card to confirm of living together with the sponsor.![]()
Ohkk thanks and how did you appeal and did you add any other documents when you appealed?observer_haters wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 5:03 pmFor NIN marriage certificate that's all, first time refused, after appeal granted.
Assuming you're not being pedantic, have you any evidence for this? The 6-month EEA Regulations stamp appeared to be valid for 6 months, and this one is described as being 'unlimited'. It could be a tardy response to the practical cause of the second McCarthy case, where the cause of the problem was that frequently obtaining family permits was unnecessary hassle. As a stamp for use within the UK, I can see it's practical validity being reduced to 3 months, as the 'initial right of residence' is the nearest relevant law I can find. (This raises the problem of its use as a statutory excuse against a swingeing fine for employing an illegal worker.)Obie wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2017 5:22 pmThe officer is wrong, as the permit is not valid for multiple travel, it is a document designed to give a 3 months automatic right of entry and residence to the family members of EU national.
As a matter of law, it is wrong to say the stamp provides multiple entry, and airlines are meant to accept it. That is clearly not accurate.
I've heard the story, some guy too many times(three times, for UKVI too often) entered the UK with Dependent Ink Stamp and later had trouble to obtain RC.Therefore passport has been retained by the Home Office and was asked to leave the UK.
Hi OliverOliver12 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2017 2:20 amHi guys
Anybody in this forum could please advise me with the dependent ink stamp
I've applied for family permit and planning to withdraw the same as the wait time is more than 150 working days (7 months calander days)
I and my wife reside in India currently and my wife is a Portuguese citizen (eea national) since she's from Goa, hence she was eligible to obtain for a Portuguese passport, but never ever been to any european countries
That means she never ever had a residence card,hence can we still travel to UK together and get a dependent ink stamp on my Passport at the airport
Just a lil bit confused, any help in this matter will be really appreciate
Thanks
Oliver
