Does the child have a Swedish passport? If so no visa or permit needed. If the child has inherited Swedish nationality from you but you have not yet got round to getting the child a Swedish passport I would say .... contact the Swedish embassy in the US and get the child a Swedish passport.We have a child together--if that has any significance in terms of permits etc.
Well you, and also your child if Swedish passport holder, don't need an permit. You have what are commonly known as "treaty rights". Those include the right to live and work in any EEA country, and that of course includes the UK.Is it possible for us at all to secure all the necessary permits while both of us remain in the US
Have a good read. then if you have any more questions, well don;t hesitate to post again.An EEA national who is exercising, or who intends to exercise Treaty Rights in the UK is entitled to be joined or be accompanied by his family members, as defined in the Regulations, regardless of nationality. People exercising Treaty Rights are defined as those who are exercising freedom of movement and residence as workers, self-employed people, providers and recipients of services, students, retired persons and other self-sufficient people.
Simplest solution is to get the child a Swedish passport.We have a child together--if that has any significance in terms of permits etc.
They might well accept that. But you mentioned you starting a self-employment. You will be doing that self-employment in the UK? If so that will be you exercising your treaty rights.Do they consider our current US-based financial situation as sufficient proof of self-sufficiency?
Sorry I thought I already had! I even quoted the relevant part! :-On that link I did not see the information you quoted, in fact I didn't find anything relating to EEA Treaty Rights at all (only US citizen specific visa information). Can you direct me there?
From this webpage.An EEA national who is exercising, or who intends to exercise Treaty Rights in the UK is entitled to be joined or be accompanied by his family members, as defined in the Regulations, regardless of nationality. People exercising Treaty Rights are defined as those who are exercising freedom of movement and residence as workers, self-employed people, providers and recipients of services, students, retired persons and other self-sufficient people.
You, and indeed your son (assuming he has a Swedish passport), will not be applying for anything! You both have Treaty Rights that give you the right (subject only to obvious health and State Security matters) to enter the UK and to live here. There are a number of ways for you to exercise your Treaty Rights and being self-employed is one of them.My question was more pertaining to whether I would have to show my ability to support myself IN the UK, or whether showing that I am able to do so in the States is sufficient.
