"
Third-country nationals who are members of an EU citizen’s family and who accompany the EU citizen moving to a Member State other than that of which he or she is a national or who join the EU citizen residing there are covered by different rules as they can benefit from Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States.
Further details on the rights of family members of EU citizens can be found in the Guide on the Directive [256 KB] or on the Your Europe portal which provides practical information on rights and opportunities in the European Union and advice on how to exercise these rights in practice.
The entry requirementsfor crossing the borders between/to the EU countries that are not in the Schengen area are the same as for crossing the external borders, except for the United Kingdom and Ireland which do not apply the Schengen Borders Code and have their own national regulations on those issues. However, under Directive 2004/38/EC, EU citizens have a right to enter these two countries on presentation of a passport or ID card . Third-country members of their family accompanying or joining them in the UK and Ireland can enter on presentation of a valid passport and of a valid visa or of a residence card of a family".
