In general with Directive 2004/38/EC, the idea is that for periods of between 1 day and 3 months, the EU citizen and non-EU family members do not need any special permission to move to a new country or to work once they are there. The exception to this is non-EU citizens who come from specific countries (so called Visa Nationals) who have to apply for a visa before hand. (The UK and Ireland also seem to do their own variation).alan and oscar wrote:Sorry for this further postscript but I couldn't resist looking at the Spanish implementation law on this and (in Article 8 of that law) they DO have an "EEA family permit" but it only needs to be applied for if the family member wishes to reside there for more than 3 months (ie applied for in Spain rather than in the Spanish consulate here before you travel). So perhaps there is a logic to this (and explains why Oscar would not get a Spanish "EEA family permit", even if he applied now)?
