Travel to Eurpore - UK ILR holder

[hasiphasip]

I guess if you where traveling with your spouse then the fact your surnames where the same (if there are) and a copy of your marriage certificate would prove that?

Hi Maunuchao

Could you share me how to apply for Permanent Residence Card? I got my naturalization and Passport, my wife is on PR, she dont want to get citizenship. We like to travel for Europe, but I dont want every time to get visa's, will this Residence card help? Will my wife eligible to apply for it?

Thanks

Hi,
I had a similar problem, I am a non-EU family member, wife is Spanish living in the UK since 2001. I got a Indefinite Leave to Remain permit after 5 years on my own, then just after applying for Spanish visas every year for traveling together with family decided to apply for a Permanent Residence Card since now I qualify as EU dependant, which I got it.

However this new residence card does not state anywhere that it was issued to a EU/EEA family member, which is what it says for a residence card issued under 5 years of residence.

I Have not yet tried to travel with this "permanent" (lasts 10 years) card and without Spanish visa, will do in December. Hope Spanish authorities will believe it was "issued for a family member of EU/EEA" as this is not written there nor in the letter from the Border Agency.

Your wife doesn't have PR, but ILR.

ILR is what the result is called for applications done under historic British law. PR is what the result is called for applications done under EU law.
