Yes, there is.danie100uk wrote:I checked with UKBA. There is NO other residency card or other relevant document! It says RESIDENCE PERMIT on it FFS!
There are 27 other EU countries you can visit, and thus avoid having to deal with the Spanish embassy in London.danie100uk wrote:Due to awful service from the Spanish Embassy in London previously
No there isn't. This was the old system:Yes, there is.
If you were from another EU country (say Germany) and were exercising your EU treaty rights in the UK, then your wife would have something called a "Residence Card for the family member of an EEA citizen". This is (in the UK) put as a vignette into her passport.danie100uk wrote:My issue is my wife's UK biometric resident permit says 'Spouse/Partner Leave to Remain' and not the wording 'family member of EEA national' which the Spanish and French embassies say must be stated on the permit. Why does the UK RP not have this exact wording or why the embassies insist on it if the Uk RP does say exactly this? This discrepancy is worrying
Don't worry about it, but this "Residence Card" never was issued to resident spouses of UK citizens.danie100uk wrote:There is voluntary passport sticker for those Non EEA persons coming to the UK with EEA spouse. This passport vignette is no longer issued to resident spouses of UK citizens.
Yes of course. You can either get a visa for her or (if you decide it makes sense) travel without a visa.danie100uk wrote:2. Will I be able to travel with my wife?
Well, good to see that this has been clarified for you by now. The scan is indeed what it says on it, i.e. a "Residence Card for the family member of an EEA citizen". The design may have changed slightly since 2008 but, nonetheless, is still issued.danie100uk wrote:No there isn't. This was the old system:Yes, there is.

The scan is of passport vignette pre Nov 2008.
