My understanding is that the OP wife intends to join him in the UK and not to enter as a tourist. The advice given to her was to tell the airline she is only going for less than 6 months so she would get on the flight but once infront of the immigration officer, seek entry as a spouse of a EEA national exercising treaty rights in the UK (regardless of the duration of stay).Lucapooka wrote:The airline will not be a problem as Brazilians don't need to pre-apply for visit entry clearance. The problem with entering as a visitor under UK rules is that is will be a challenge to prove, with convincing evidence, that it's only to visit given that she was previously residing in the UK with husband who is based in the UK (and previously submitted an application for a residence card). I feel that the UK Border force would have no option other than to refuse her entry (they go by the rules and are not given to discretion) unless there were compelling evidence to the contrary showing her intention to return to Brazil.
