It is in fact a lot simpler than you imply in your post. For a start you are not applying for a visa under UK immigration law. To get such a visa you would need to comply with the new Tier 4 arrangements, which include the college/university having to sponsor you. But you are not going down that route.Now with the student invitation documents i will get a entry visa to UK. once we are there, we will be provided a married couples flat by the collage to stay, my wife will not look for a job or Social security money from UK, we have some savings we will use it while we are there.
Have you looked at the link provided earlier? There is an online form to complete, after which you will be told what to do next.To get EEA resident card for me what would be the procedure?
When you return you will have a 5-year Residence Card. There is no reason to think that would cause a particular problem for you (although a lengthy absence from the Netherlands might have implications). But what sort of Dutch visa do you have at the moment? When does that expire? And when might you qualify to apply for Naturalisation as a Dutch citizen?if i have that card on our return back to Holland i wil not face any short of problem with the dutch authority, as beacase I will be holding EEA card from UK is this correct. please do let us know,
You can certainly add the marriage certificate to that little list. After all you are needing to show that you are a "family member" of an EU citizen, and the marriage certificate proves that the two of you are married.according to your information, if we both have our invitation latter from the Belfast school, and our financial sttement from bank(HOlland), and my wife's dutch passprt would be enough prove to get me a EEA visa to UK? Once we are there then we can follow the EEA2 form...
Nabo, you have a multiple entry visa for Holland, thereby you are here legally (as long as it's valid ofcourse). So just go the British consulate here, and apply for an EEA Family Permit to travel to the UK.nabo wrote:Hello Isceon,
thanks for the information and the sight, good information i am going through couple of time to understand as much as i can.
My question to you is, I am here in Holland with 3 months multipal entry visit visa. now when I apply for my UK permit along with my wife here in Hollad. will it be a issue at all at the british Embassy? is it a requirment to have a Dutch permit before hand to get my UK permit, or it doesn't matter. as long as my wife exersize her EU right that will give me oppertunity to apply for my EU right??? please let us know, thaks in advance.

Hi Nabo.nabo wrote:Mr.Rozen,
Greetings from Holland, would like to ask you couple of question, Me and my wife we will be going to Belfast for study purpose, the collage will send me the acceptance letter soon. they are willing to sposor me too.
the school will begin on 1st of September.
my question is,
1. should i apply for a student visa/ EEA family permit? which is better on our sitaution?
2. I heard, for student visa i am only allowed to apply 6 weeks before the school starts. is this correct?
if I apply for EEA family permit as my wife is Dutch, will there be any such restriction. or can I apply any time with out any time frame for EEA family permit?
For EEA family permit do i need to show the students acceptace letter for both of us to British consulate or it is not necessary?
Please do advice, thanking you in advance,
nabo
1. The EEA Family Permit should give you more rights, but keep in mind that to get that, your wife has to exercise treaty rights in the UK, then you have to enter in the UK (if you go to the British consulate, they should provide you with an entry clearance for spouses of EEA citizens, which you can use to enter in the UK in the next 6 months), and then you have to apply for the EEA Family Permit, which is a infamously slow process (my wife got hers in 8 months, and during the last 4 months of that they kept her passport). Also, try to apply only with a pretty recent passport, as the EEA FP will be given for the next 5 years.nabo wrote: 1. should i apply for a student visa/ EEA family permit? which is better on our sitaution?

I think you mean Residence Card, which is applied for on form EEA2 from within the UK! EEA FP is just an Entry Clearance to enter the UK as an EU Family Member.aledeniz wrote:1.

2. I don't know, but probably getting the entry clearance for spouses of EEA citizens will be easier. I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that once you are inside the UK, you mainly need the EEA FP as confirmation of your rights, as long as your wife exercise treaty rights and you are still married with her, and to travel abroad. My wife applied after 3 months in UK, by law they should have given her an EEA FP in 6 months from the application, they did in 8, so she lived and/or worked legally (we were confirmed about that from the BIA customer service) in UK for almost 5 months after the expiration of her entry clearance.
My understanding about the EEA FP is that you can apply for that only once in UK. This my be a wrong perception because I was already living in UK before marrying, but if you ask to the next British consulate, they should be able to clarify you if you can apply directly from Netherland, or if you need to get the entry clearance before (which given the circumstances shouldn't be too hard to get).
