Going to spain, do we need a visa with an ILR?

[Arthur Little]

Basically folks as it says in the title. PLease excuse if this is a daft question and I know it covered already ish but...............The wife is on a Philippines passport with an ILR. Now on the spanish website it says that a dependant of an EU national can enter spain with a uk residence visa. Is this the same thing as an ILR? Or are we going to have to get a schengen visa?

Sorry if this seems an obvious question but I'm a touch tired at work and the ol grey matter ain't quite right.

Cheers

I believe ... although I could be wrong ... if your wife has ILR, then it means she's been granted Permanent Residence and shouldn't need a Schengen Visa to enter Spain. The only thing that MIGHT worry me is the fact that she is still using her Philippines passport. But whether this is likely to be a matter of concern to the immigration authorities, I can't be certain.
