Schengen transit visa for EEA-family member

[bennyfak]

Hi there,
I am EEA married to non-EEA.
We live in the UK and my husband has a 5 years permit here.
We are travelling to africa and we are looking at going through either
France or Germany.
How does he go on about applying for transit visa? Can it be done at the airport or does he need to apply before travelling?
If we are not sure whether we will fly through Germany or France, will it matter what transit visa he will apply for?

Cheers

You should in any case always travel with your marriage certificate. When you are both travelling together, producing it allows you to enter without a visa if needed: http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/08 ... to-travel/
