Most of the students who post to this forum seem to come here on an NVQ scheme (often through an agency) to work in a care home, though I'm not sure how many of them have applied since the 31st March when the rules changed.

some people on here have managed to get a visit visa with them having no money, job or property in the phils. yes they were lucky but not impossible.

student visa is one possible way.

also if your well off, you could try the surrinder route- might not be so straight forward, but a possible way of being togther, move to another EU country, exercise your treaty rights, south of france, somewhere sunny

I thought exercising your treaty rights actually meant being economically active (ie earning money), but this suggests you could just be a work seeker.

please excuse my ignorance on the subject but what exactly are treaty rights?

It's the rights given to you by the Treaty of Nice

Basically your rights to live and work as a EU citizen in any other EU country.

Why Joe has mentioned it is that unlike UK laws, EU laws would allow you to bring a spouse to the UK even if they are under 21. But the only way you can force the British government to treat you as a EU citizen rather than a British citizen is if you exercise your treaty rights in another EU state for a period of time.
