The Isle of Man is not in the UK or EU, so it has different rules in many respects. See the UK Visas website.

You may want to get in touch with the Isle of Man immigration department. I have no practical advice to give you.

Also see this document IoM Immigration Rules update, particularly the part about "Requirement for persons arriving in the Isle of Man to produce
evidence of identity and nationality" and "EEA nationals and their families"

You could try posting this in the Europe forum if you do not get many responses in the UK section.
