Need help regarding EEA family permit for uk from dublin..

[mono786]

Hello Everybody..

I am going to apply for UK EEA family permit visa. My wife is Uk Citizen living with me for 1 year in dublin. I have my 9 month baby as well but he is Irish/Uk national as well.
My question is that::
1) what documents do I need to submitt my application ?

2)I heard EEA family permit is granted only once for 6 month is that true?? If I need to apply second time EEA family permit for my visit to uk Can I apply or not ?

3)I have good and bad history for uk visa. will that affect my visa application or not..?
3a) Good history is in that sense I got my uk visit visa for 6 and 1 year respectively in 2004 and 2005 respectively.
3b) In 2005 they refused my application for uk Ancestral visa and later on I did appeal but they refused, after that I apply for my uk visit visa but they refused again.

Thanks very much for your help and comments in advance.

Hi mono786,

Few questions, if I may:

• Is your UK national spouse currently exercising an EU Treaty right in Ireland, if so, what?
• Are you travelling from Ireland directly to the UK?
• Will you be travelling together with your UK national spouse?
• What is your purpose of entering the UK?
• For how long will you be in the UK?

[mono786]

Thanks very much First-Class Moron for your help.
Hi benifa
Regarding yours questions:
Yes my wife she is exercising her Eu treaty rights, she is working as a sales assistant in dunnes store since aug 2008. She works usually 20 to 25 hours, but I am working full time as a Assistant manager in retail store Londis.
Yes we both want to travel from Ireland to uk direct.
My purpose is just to visit the UK for maximum 1 week.

Moreover I am having EU4fam which was granted in june 2009 for 5 year.

Thanks v much

Hi mono786,

In that case, you don't need to waste your time and effort to get an EEA Family Permit from the British Embassy. You can just go to the UK. Between you and your wife, don't forget your passport, your wife's passport or EEA national ID card, your marriage certificate and your Stamp 4 EUFam Residence Card.

Probable scenario - you will land in the UK and just walk out of the airport (there are usually no border controls on flights / vessels arriving from Ireland).

Worst case scenario - you are stopped. However, presentation of the documents mentioned guarantees* your entry.

*unless you pose a danger to public policy, public security or public health.

Thanks v much benifa for yours advice, I understand they cant stop me but In case to avoid any problem I think its better to get Residence permit.

Anyway thanks a million again.

The EEA Family Permit is not a residence permit - it's a form of entry clearance, which, for someone in your circumstances, is totally pointless and unnecessary.

Easier said than done. Ryanair wont let you on the flight without the correct visa.

Easier said than done. Ryanair wont let you on the flight without the correct visa.

In this scenario >>no visa is needed<<, as such denying boarding would be illegal.

Obviously in practice it could still happen, in which case you would have to take Ryanair to court for compensation.

So far I always managed to convince them that I´m right, sometimes by showing more or less from >>these papers<<.

Happy travelling.

It looks like BMI has also joined the list, together with Aerlingus, of the Airlines doing visa Checks.

I went to drop my friend who is a holder of EUfam, and the lady was insisting he should have a visa, even though he is transiting with his wife. It took a good part of and hour and threat of a possible law suit, before he was allowed to board the flight to the UK.

I will not recommend BMI to anyone. It appears someone, somewhere is putting pressure on them to impose this illegal act on EUfam holders

Hi Benifa

mono786,

The EEA family permit is good for 6 months. You can then get another and another...
