EEA FP = EEA family permit which is the entry clearance that your wife should apply for, obviously at a British consulate.madmart132 wrote:Hi could you tell me will we have to apply at the consulate for the eea and what is an FP ?
The EU Comission thinks so too...madmart132 wrote:Also surely this is against the law ?
I suppose that's a statement and not a question.madmart132 wrote:she is resident in Spain and has her card ?
A residence card functions within the Schengen area just like a Schengen residence title. But a residence card is supposed to allow visa free travel (if together with the EEA national or for the purpose of joining them) within all of the EEA...madmart132 wrote:We can go just about everywhere else...
You are overlooking an important fact. Simply, the immigration controls between the UK and France, at the Channel ports, are now juxtaposed, that is, you need to clear UK immigration before entering the port or boarding the ferry.It depends on the ferry company if they let her board the ferry without a valid UK visa. In all probability, they wont. Applying for a EEA FP would be the best idea to avoid any hassle.
Under no circumstances may a non-EEA / Swiss national enter the UK unless in possession of at least a valid passport.madmart132 wrote:1) can my wife travel to the UK just on her Spanish ID card ? .. and believe that it would be quicker to go through with a swipe ID card rather than a passport .
That is right, and nothing to do with the change of Government. Those paras. were deleted some time ago. I invite you to read para 5 of the Immigration Rules, which explains.But all of the information on the EEA Family permit from 258 to 262 has been deleted !!!
