This is a quirk of Switzerland, Christian noticed it, and raised it before here. http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic. ... highlight=Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Sorry, I do not understand this.86ti wrote:The RC has no meaning with respect to Switzerland.
Swiss FAQ wrote: Question
I am neither a citizen of the EU nor of the EEA, resident in the United Kingdom, and married to an EU citizen; thus, I am an EU spouse. My British residence permit (EEA Family member Residence Documentation) does not guarantee essentially entry into the Schengen area without a visa. However, a number of Schengen states allow me to enter their territory without a visa, because I am an EU spouse and holder of UK Residence Documentation. Am I entitled to enter Switzerland?
Answer
No. EU spouses holding UK Residence Documentation still need a visa to enter Switzerland. Furthermore, holding a visa is a requisite for people entering Switzerland and proceeding to a Schengen state that has lifted visa requirements. Please check with the appropriate diplomatic mission what EU or Schengen states have waived visa requirements.
Christians issue was different. In that case it was the spouse of a UK citizen who had ILR. No RC was involved. In his case, the problem is that ECJ rulings, specifically MRAX, have no effect in Switzerland.acme4242 wrote:This is a quirk of Switzerland, Christian noticed it, and raised it before here. http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic. ... highlight=
