Just a note, the directive is 2004/38, although there was a typo in one of the official publications.Sunshine82 wrote:There is the "DIRECTIVE 2004/58/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT" which actually allows you, if you have the right to be in one of the EU countries, to go to any other EU countries: free movement in the EU. And you shoudn't be requiere to hold a travell VISA, even if non-EEA national with residency card.
As pointed out, it is actually called Directive 2004/38/EC. They did a typo in the correction, which is almost beyond my ability to understand.Sunshine82 wrote:Thanks for the answer.
Sorry, I didn't write very clearly. We only want to go to Germany for Holiday, we live and work both in the UK. And the residency card will be in the passport, so he will have both together.
There is the "DIRECTIVE 2004/58/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT" which actually allows you, if you have the right to be in one of the EU countries, to go to any other EU countries: free movement in the EU. And you shoudn't be requiere to hold a travell VISA, even if non-EEA national with residency card. (please correct me, if I'm wrong)
But, as not everyone is aware of this law, there might be problems by traveling without a (unnecessary??) Visa.
Any advice or experiences on this??
Note that the German embassy in Ireland says that this does not apply for entering Germany if the EU spouse is a German citizen. I think they are legally wrong, especially if the EU spouse is working (and thus exercsing treaty rights).The EU Directive 2004/38/CE has been implemented in Italy. Therefore, family members of EU citizens who do not have the nationality of a Member State, but have the new residence permits issued by the British Home Office bearing the following indication:
"RESIDENCE DOCUMENTATION
Type of Document : Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National"
WILL NOT NEED A SCHENGEN VISA FOR A SHORT STAY
