Huh? This is the wife of an EEA citizen, so she needs to apply for an EEA family permit. And so she can apply from any country.stefancamargo wrote:so, this means, No... she cannot aply as a tourist.
Applications for visit visas and EEA Family Permits can be made at any post designated by the Secretary of State to accept applications for entry clearance. The applicant will need to be in the third country or territory in accordance with that country or territory's immigration laws.
The UK has become very restrictive when it comes to allow entry to immigration offenders, and it means that an individual has gone through an immigration check and in this case, your wife certainly did, didn't she?stefancamargo wrote:"Applications for visit visas and EEA Family Permits can be made at any post designated by the Secretary of State to accept applications for entry clearance.

This doesn't apply to your wife. She will be applying as the spouse of an EEA.stefancamargo wrote: Applications for all other types of entry clearance, including PBS* and settlement (*see tier 5 exception below) should be made in the applicant's country of residence.
She can be there as a tourist - no problem. This basically just means she can not have entered the country illegally.jrge wrote:The UK has become very restrictive when it comes to allow entry to immigration offenders, and it means that an individual has gone through an immigration check and in this case, your wife certainly did, didn't she?stefancamargo wrote:"Applications for visit visas and EEA Family Permits can be made at any post designated by the Secretary of State to accept applications for entry clearance.

Pretty much the same thing. But... (Hypothetical discussion follows not related to this OPs situation in Italy)...jrge wrote:Immigration offenders = Illegal immigrants
Immigration check = legally admitted
I guess we are talking about the same.
ok, what I know is that we need to have sufficient funds for the initial period (3 months) until we have a job and support ourselves (so we don´t need to depent on public funds). Do you know how much is acceptable per month? the ideal amount?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:I tend to think of it as best to structure your initial trip to the UK to check it out for a month or two. And then if it works out, you can stay for longer.
If you apply for the EEA FP and say you intend to stay for (e.g.) 10 years, then they will ask for proof that you are self sufficient or are going to be working in the UK.
You do not need to show any funds for the first 90 days. £Zero.stefancamargo wrote:ok, what I know is that we need to have sufficient funds for the initial period (3 months) until we have a job and support ourselves (so we don´t need to depent on public funds).
