Non EU spouses resident in EU, travel to UK without a visa

[Trefor]

John car - you may be right in principle and the best of luck to you. However, I think the issue will be whether she can board the flight in the first place. Have a read of this article, which discusses why refugees don't fly in from Ethiopia etc. instead of paying trafficers thousands. From an airline's perspective they have the right to refuse boarding. I think I suggested driving to Calais previously, thus you speak directly with UK border sitting at the Chunnel/ferry terminal.

Trefor The ability to board has been discussed and as I remember several people have posted to the effect that under the EU law they were allowed to board. I know that was a potential problem when the Directive came out, but I want to hear from those who have done it.

Thanks John
