Travelling abroad with EEA2 RC. Should I carry CSI as well?

Post by fufilnikku » Sun May 13, 2012 7:59 pm

Greetings Everyone.
I am a non-eu national with a EEA2 RC stamp in my passport. Me and my wife (EU national) are planning to travel abroad in few months. This would be my first trip abroad after EEA2 RC stamp in my passport. The RC was issued on the basis of my wife exercising treaty rights as a self-sufficient person. Therefore, We supplied a CSI document along with the application.
I am wondering should I carry this CSI document with us in case Immigration Officers at UK airport question the status "self-sufficiency" for my wife.
I would be grateful if you could advise me in this matter. Many thanks.

No need to carry CSI. The RC is enough. Even if the IO asks on what basis the RC was obtained (unlikely to be asked if you travel together), you don't need to prove anything again at the border (he is more interested to hear you say - I'm married to a EEA national).

Be aware that you could use the EU line, don't need to fill in a landing card and your passport should not be stamped.

Absolutely!

See Endorsing the passports - UKBA guidelines and Regulation 11(3).
