Me (Student Visa-Non EU) and my Girlfriend (EU) are getting married soon and as per my understanding by reading through this forum i think i need to do the following.
1. Apply for a COA (if someone can help me what documents i need to send with the application that would be very kind of u)
2. Give Notice to Registrar for marriage and get a license. (What is it and how things work with it if someone can explain please).
3. Take the license to a registered and Approved Place like A Mosque (some mosque do the religious ceromony and also register a civil marriage or a church. (any TIPS)
4. Get the Marriage Certificate and Apply for FLR (M) or EEA2 i am very confused here that what do i need to do here and what type of Visa should i apply.
My Girl friend is here for about 7 years and working full-time never bin on benefits and i am here for about 2 and half years and in my final semester of MBA from a very Good University.
- there is an age difference between me and my girlfriend of 8 years is it going to be a problem?
- I have one year Visa left.
- we dont live on the same address but we'll be moving together soon.
Pleas guide me here.
Regards.

Hi There
My advice is that you are qualifying for EEA2 under Directive EU2004/38/EC.
What to do:
1st to move and stay in the same property with your partner.
2nd Apply for a COA
3rd Take the authorisation to a registered office to celebrate a marriage you can get married in A(Mosque or Church) whenever you want after receiving the COA.
Apply for EEA2 (5 years residency)
After 5 years of residence under qualifications of course you can apply for a confirmation of permanent residence
All the Best
Nono
Thanks this is very valuable information. Bless younoble72uk wrote:Hi
EEA2: is for European and their family, to register in the immigration rules they will be given a permit residence for a period of 5 years. The EEA will have a card of 5 years and the non EEA who is family member of an EEA will get the 5 years residence permit stamped on the passport
After living continuously 5 years you need to apply for a permanent residence called EEA4 for your self and EEA3 for your European partner.
The advantage:
All (EAA) applications are Free and you don’t need a solicitor to apply.
Once you will receive your 5 years residence on your passport when you travel to the EU Schengen states you don’t need a visa to go just buy your ticket and need to carry you marriage certificate and accompanied with your EEA partner.
You can check now if you want:
Example: Italian consulate visa information
These days most of the consulates are advertising that for the non EU who are partner of an EU and have the new residence card stamped on their passport they don not need a visa to enter country.
These directives are EU law not UK law.
