Call me preudiced or whatever, but I agree with all the points in tHe document, apart from the Romania and Bulgarian bit.............. But on the same token, why do wives need visas to go to Schengen countries if the hold FLR or ILR, which are regarded as residence Cards..???
Now this is of interest to me I want the Missus and nipper to join me here later this year they both have 5 year residence cards for europe and can therefor come to the UK where we could apply for further uk residence cards any comments guys?
Three years later the UK have been forced to allow free movement to non EU family members who hold an article 10 Residence Card from another European Country without an entry permit. https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...d-to-bring-in-addition-to-your-residence-card
Oh, I was rather hoping that because things appear to be moving regarding non EU spouses of other European countries being able to come to the UK that we would soon be able to do the same.
Im afraid it doesnt apply to residence granted under National Rules only Article 10 or 20 although your partners have free access to entry visas (schengan et al) for free movement in Europe Doms missus no longer needs to apply (I dont know if Jet has British passport yet) if she is traveling with or joining her husband anywhere in the EU same for mine. It has long been enshrined but took 3 years plus to get the UK government still kicking and screaming to begrudgingly comply.
We have put off going into Europe this year, as for us the Schengen shenanigins has been an expensive and time consuming affair on each occasion, until my wife obtains citizenship.
