mruffess wrote:Thanks Bani but here's what the french consulate are saying "Note as from March 2009, The foreign spouse of a EU national (except French national) may enter France without visa if they are holding a valid travel document, a valid UK residence permit with the endorsement "family member of EEA national" and if they are meeting up or travelling with the EU national. If you do not meet the set criteria, you will need to apply for a visa to travel to France and both the spouse’s valid EU passport AND the marriage certificate are requested. However, you may apply for a short stay Schengen visa, i.e. pay the visa administrative fees and provide all requested documents."
I cannot understand the following:
with the endorsement "family member of EEA national" what does that mean?
thanks mate

That is the text printed on the sticker in the passport. The exact text should be "Residence Card of a family Member of an EEA National" and looks like this (found at http://www.netherlands-embassy.org.uk/p ... .php?i=261)mruffess wrote:with the endorsement "family member of EEA national" what does that mean?
