“ You’ll have been issued an Article 10 or 20 residence card if:
you’re the non-EEA national family member of an EEA citizen
your EEA citizen family member is exercising free movement rights in an EEA state of which they are not a national”
The card I hold is called “Community Residence Card” but it also says on the card the “Family Member of a Union Citizen” and my partner is a Spanish citizen and the card was issued under Spanish Law. Does this means that my card is not an article 10 or 20 card?
Can you please point exactly to where you have read this? It's important, thank you.
With the purpose of giving everyone the most informed picture, I'd like to add what is just a personal impression on Family Permits. I welcome anyone with first-hand knowledge to complement or correct the below, if I am mistaken.
This is incorrect. Some countries (including Spain, but I think, Germany and Poland) treat their citizens as EU citizens primarily. This is an added bonus by some governments, but not others (UK is clearly not the one to dispense any favours to its own citizens)Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 7:53 pmThat's right.hamxa111 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 6:50 pmThank you for you reply.

If for instance you are Spanish, your partner probably got his card under Spanish law not EU law. So the card will be delivered under local laws and doesn't count as Article 10 or 20.
These cards, under local law, don't allow visa-free travel in Europe.
Thank you very much adding this valuable information to the post. Kindly please could you share the source of this information? Where have you read this that Spain treat their citizens as EU?
