They don't. Try to complain to SOLVIT if they continue insisting on these documents. You should not need confirmation/bookings of tickets and accomodation. You should not need to show travel or health insurance (though I would recommend both and getting the EHIC is easy and free of charge). The visa should also be free of charge.frances2 wrote:We have a joint bank account. Why does the Italian authorities have the right to scrutinize my finacial affairs, especially when it says on the Schengen forn that this is not needed by spouses of UK citizens.
Very interesting interpretation. So if the UK is doing something wrong, then you don't blame others for also doing the wrong thing in retaliation?charles4u wrote:I dont blame the EU embassies in UK giving conditions of getting visas from UK.
See I wish things can be better but you can see the way Europe is general, everything seems to be politics and power.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Very interesting interpretation.

All EU countries are allowed to require visas of some people who do not already have a Residence Card. The UK and Ireland are allowed to choose which countries that is valid from.charles4u wrote:why cant they drop the EEA Family permit instead of requesting visas for family member or are they better than Germany or France or even Scandinavia ?
The UK and Ireland are requiring visas from both holders of residence permit and non-holders.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:All EU countries are allowed to require visas of some people who do not already have a Residence Card.

The UK have also taken advantage of (intentionally?) ambiguous language of the Directive to say that a Residence Card means a Residence Card issued by the UK. What they have done is not clearly illegal. It is frustrating, but I would not necessarily expect more sincerity from the Home Office.
Well, that's who replied. Are CSS a different organisation? Should I asl why they replied? Maybe Solvit and this group are one and the same?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Its just that the last email you posted with from Citizens Signpost Servicefrances2 wrote:I googled SOLVIT.
