    Where did you find this information? I have been struggling to find any info on the net. if you can advise, I would really appreciate it.
    thanks...
    If you intend to use the Family permit route, the correct form to use is the VAF1

    http://uk.visapro.com/Download/Form-VAF1.pdf

    As Indicated in an earlier post, the chances of a family permit of being refused are virtually nil.
    The only reasons for an outright refusal would be if you enter false details or the wife has some sort of criminal record.
    The first visa will be valid for 6 months, and you can apply for a 5 year residence card at any time within the 6 months.
    All is free of charge for genuine bona fide EEA nationals and their spouses.
    From the moment she lands she will be entitled to take up employment and all it entails.
    We done it, waited about 6/7 weeks.
    Jet has been here since last September, and has been working for the last couple of months.
    Good luck

    After the 5 years up can you apply for a ILR or british citzenship?

    Theorethically and practically you would be entitled to apply for both..... Free of charge for the ILR, not sure about the citizenship.
    But we thought that if Jet ever decides to get a new citizenship it will be dual with Italian.... Would save a lot of hassle in future....

    Eh, yeah....... It is a hard life being a foreigner in the UK but someone has to pay taxes.... To allow some of the indigenous population to keep paying for their Sky subscriptions while signing on the dole...

    On reflection.... it is a very little return for 34 years of hard work... But better than nothing at all....

    Eljono,

    Coming from NI may be you can help with this.

    I am just about to apply for Spouse visa for my wife and daughter.

    Now i was born in NI and have lived there most of my life, however i have been in London for over 10 years and hold a British Passport not an Irish one.
    My mother is from Dublin and two of my brothers hold Irish passports.

    Should i spend all this money on spuse visa's or should i go the family permit route, can i even apply for it??? having already got a British Passport.

    Any ideas

    SD

    A quick phone call to the Irish Embassy should tell you if you are entitled to apply for an Irish Passport, I guess.
    The Family permit route is the best way around, if you can get on the bandwagon.... do it....

    Good luck

    Hi,
    I am a little baffled (which isn't difficult).
    Would you happen to know when one would use the VAF5 application form for an EEA Family Permit?
    Thanks
    ps - My Partner is also called Jet!!!

    If you followed the link I posted, you would have noticed that the right form for a Family Permit is "VAF1"....

    I am curious to know where you got that VAF5 info from, because is kind of misguided to say the least.

    Oh, well, we have a couple of things in common.... Family permits and wifes names.....

    Good luck.

    My apologies mate, they changed things around while I was catnapping.

    VAF1 is what we used for Jet.

    Having looked at the VAF5, it seems that they moved the goalposts by a few feet either side.
    The date in the top right hand corner says it all, Jet was here by then, so I never checked again as it was mission accomplished.
    I did not mean to give you the wrong advice.

    So what was the question again....?

    A piece of cake if you are determined enough and ready to put up with tampo, rice 24/7, squid, chicken or fish heads and the rest of weird and wonderful exotic tastes that will eventually terminally titillate your palate....

    Run out of port...........
