We returned yesterday from Latvia without problems.86ti wrote: We'll soon try to fly to Latvia and then go to Estonia. According to information from Ryanair (we asked directly at Liverpool Airport) they'll let us board. Let's see what the Latvians will do. We may have to visit my in-laws in St. Peterburg but I hesitate to attempt to re-enter the EU through the Russian-Estonian border.
According to the website France should allow holders of EEA Family members permit to enter. However, the Embassy's website is still saying that you need a visa.86ti wrote: To make it short I just list the EU member countries that would not accept family member residence permits (that is, what the database makers think): Austria, Denmark, Lithuania, Slovakia and the UK. I checked for a resident of the UK and also Ireland, but entries for Bulgaria, Cyprus and Romania appear all to be the same. In fact, the information generated by the web interface seems template based but the text is not always the same for different countries.

Good question? It may depend more than ever on the "sensibility" of the airline personnel. The problem of the FP is that it doesn't have "visa" printed on it. You may have read about our own experience with my wife's RC above. We were allowed to check in and the passports were checked anyway later again by boarder control.Richard66 wrote:I did the opposite research: Russian resident in Italy travelling to the UK. It said: Visa required. No mention to EEA family members or indeed to the EEA FP. Does that mean that even in possession of the EEA FP boarding might be denied?
Richard, I couldn't agree more!!Richard66 wrote:Visa-free travel will only be possible when people start throwing their weight about and protesting. Playing the sheep doesn't solve the problem.
Richard66 wrote:This is not so, Charles: the UK is being investigated by the European Court of Justice. It just takes timem that's all.
I have also sent a letter to the European Ombudsman, asking him to step in.
Why don't you contact Prawo? He might be able to give you a hand?
