Anyone here exercised treaty in Spain? Advice needed.

Post by RedKite2010 » Fri Apr 04, 2014 8:07 pm

Hi guys.

Wife & I are travelling to Canary Islands on 19th April 2014 (in 2 weeks)

I am baffled as to what to do when we get to the boarder in Lanzarote.
Do I need to show a Spanish Version of the Directive to the boarder control when we land?
Do we tell them that as a EU Citizen I am exercising my Economic Treaty Right and bringing my wife with me, and she entering as the wife of an EU National?
Or does she just enter as a visitor?

Where can I find a Spanish translation of the directive as I think we will need it.

Many Thanks
K

BTW....
I am UK National, married to Non EU Woman. We are currently in the UK. She is here as a visitor at the moment.
We got married 2 weeks ago in her home country. Our marriage certificate has an Apostille Of The Hauge. The original is in Spanish & we also have a translated copy.
She is a non visa national for UK & Spain so does not require a visa.

kind of answering my own question here but still not sure what to do once at the Spanish Boarder

Below is the Directive In Spanish along with an English Translation.

Real Decreto 240/2007

hi if your visa is non visa national you both enter the spain with your marriage certificate no matter how long you get the entry for you are free for 3 months to exercise treaty right .
with in 3 months you become employed ,self employed ,self sufficient or student and you apply for your wifes residence card.
will you be working there ?
it applies in all eu states.
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
