I think this is one of those questions whose answer we will only know once we know what kind of Brexit (soft or hard, and if soft, under which conditions) we will have.

Given that you travel in May, you will have a good month, sufficient time, to prepare a visa application in the event there is a no-deal scenario and in case no deal means the current visa exception for family members of EU nationals is no longer in place. No point in doing anything for now.

But if it will be brexit then in brexit do i need visa when i am travelling with my eu spouse???

One thing is clear. If your family member is not from the UK, they will still be EU citizens so it does not matter if UK is part of EU or not. You will still be allowed to travel

The only scenario in which you would need to apply for a visa is no-deal (which at the time I wrote the post was still an option), and even if that was confirmed and happened on March 29th, you would still have time to then apply for a visa if you planned to travel in May. So until no deal is confirmed, no point of doing anything whatsoever. That's what I said.

Now... seeing the no deal is off the table, you pretty much don't need to do anything at all (you can still await this week's parliamentary events to unfold, just to be sure what the policy will be but very likely nothing will change until May).

Hi .

Like now brexit date again extend so its 100% sure that i dont need visa to spain bcoz m travelling my EU spouse and we are travrlling in next month May? OR better i will try to get visa?

Like now brexit date again extend

Keep in mind exit date of October 31st is only an offer made to the UK that the Prime Minister has accepted in principle, but that needs to also be accepted by Parliament. No deal is unlikely, as in theory they have ruled it out, but we could still leave on tomorrow with No deal if for some shambolic reason Parliament change their minds overnight.

Very likely in May we will still be in the EU, but to be o the safe side, hold on to see what Parliament agrees. I believe this should happen this week given the current official Exit date is still tomorrow April 12th. If we are still in the EU and exit date is confirmed to be October 31st, then you do not need a visa.

Thank you very much. I can wait for tomrow

I Just checked the Settlement scheme page, and where it used to say "You need to have arrived in the UK by April 12th" now just says "You need to have arrived in the UK when the UK leaves the EU". This means the previous official April 12th date has been canceled. It also seems they are tired to update the date whenever a new date comes up and did not even bother to type October 31st! (knowing it can still change). This is also due to the fact that, in theory, if the UK manages to agree on any deal before that date, then we could trigger the exit before that date.

Now back to your original question, do you need a visa? From my humble perspective an non-expert opinion, The No deal scenario -and hece your potential need for a visa-, at least until October 31st, is pretty much ruled out:Even if the UK could still leave with no deal, if that happens in all likelihood it will be after October 31st. Parliament has decisively rejected No deal as a suitable option, so they will not trigger it on purpose. The only danger had always been that we could have an accidental No deal, if we reached a deadline without an agreement. But as that date has been pushed back to after your travel, I think you can relatively safely assume you will not find yourself in a scenario where the UK has left the EU with no deal, before you travel.
