Hi,kilojulius wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 2:14 pmHi everyone,
we're a German/Kenyan couple. My wife has a German residence card with the information "28 Abs. 1 S. 1 Nr. 1" written on it. That's the only way German authorities show that someone is married to a EU citizen on a residence card. The airline Easyjet refused that we board the plane as the residence card should state "Family Member of a EU citizen".
We checked again on the gov.uk website and found out about the more detailed description of an Article 10 residence card and that Non-EEA spouses with a German residence card therefore need to apply "Apply for an EEA family permit from outside the UK" as the following website is titled.
https://www.gov.uk/family-permit
We're trying to apply for that right now. And on the same it clearly says the following:
Fees
An EEA family permit is free.
So, we now try to get to an online form for that, but at the following step of the process we loose the path of a applying for an EEA-member-spouse visa and we end up with charges of 176 Euro.
Has anyone of you ever have to go through that online process and ended up paying 0 Euro for the EEA family permit?
What to click in order to get there?
Update: We managed to get somewhere new:
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/keny ... /no/no/yes
It asks to click on a link to apply for a family permit which leads us here:
https://www.gov.uk/family-permit
You get redirected there from https://www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visakilojulius wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 5:27 pmThanks I will try that! May ask how you found out about that service? Looks like a private (and therefore paid and expensive) agency to me...
One more thing - when you register an account there, it is for you wife, not you, as it is SHE who is applying, not you.kilojulius wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 5:27 pmThanks I will try that!

I am not confirming mine yet, because I am still waiting for supporting documents. I am just saving it until I will have the documents and will be able to book an appointment.kilojulius wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 11:20 amIf you manage to get to "Confirm Application" with "N/A" in the field "What is the EEA National Registration Certificate number for the EEA National?" please tell me. Then I know if it's this or a different field that I didn't fill correctly.
