It was long in coming, but finally here....



CHANGES TO THE LEGISLATION: FAO married spouses of EU nationals:

Married spouses of EU nationals are exempted from obtaining a Schengen visa to travel to France if they hold:
a valid travel document, i.e. passport;
a valid UK residence permit with the endorsement "family member of EEA national";
and if they are joining or travelling with the EU national.
However if they do not satisfy the above conditions, they need to apply for a visa to travel to France (for instance if their UK residency does not state those exact words/ their spouse is not travelling).
Caution:
This exemption only applies to married spouses of EU Nationals, i.e. not to parents or children - for further information and procedure to apply for a visa as the family member of an EU citizen, click here (…) nor to unmarried partners, civil partners - for further information and procedure to apply for a short stay Schengen visa, click here (…)
