Travel advice

Post by MUKP » Wed Dec 07, 2011 10:29 am

Hi

I need some advice and views.

I am a Non-EEA national. I was married to an EEA national from June 2006 to January 2011. We live in the UK. Based on laws, I retained my rights of residence (May 2011) and subsequently a Permanent Resident card was issued (November 2011) by the UK Border Agency to me based on EU laws.

My question is, now that I am not technically a family member of an EEA national as I am divorced but have obtained my PR based on EU laws governing family migration from a Non-EEA country, will I treated in similar fashion as an EEA national if I decided to move to another EEA country in-terms of visa requirements, free movements etc.

Kind regards.

Good question!

With a Residence Card it is generally assumed that you travel visa free when you do it together with your EU spouse.

With a Permanent Residence Card, you are no longer directly dependent on what your EU spouse is doing or not. (In your case your EU spouse is divorced). But I am not sure what the requirements are wrt to travel alone.
