Hi there.....
Yes...I think I'm already confused by the process.
What's really puzzling me and my boyfriend is what's going to happen after family permit?
I know I need to apply for residence card which will take another 6 or 12 months. Stated in the family permit that it's only valid for 6mos, so what's going to happen after the 6 months family permit that the embassy will issue to me? According to this (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoap...snationals#Q27) you in fact DO NOT need a residence card but it is better to get one if you want to travel otherwise you will have to get EEA permit everytime you will be travelling abroad. So I will take it as the EEA permit DOESN'T have limited validity (6 months).BTW: For a residence card is possible to apply in person at their offices, then the application is processed and residency card issued the same day. But you need to phone them (not easy to get through the automated system and long waiting on line) and try to arrange for a personal visit/interview. For more info about rights and responsibilities of EEA citizens in UK take a look in here: (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoap...swissnationals)
By the way, we are already working out on our civil wedding here in Malaysia. We are both busy and it's really a problem for us. I can only have two weeks vacation and he can only have 1 week. Not very sure about legal limitations for a wedding in Malaysia, but there might be a problem with your fiancees stay in there becuse it seems a bit short to me as many countries are imposing some limits for a marriage - for example in UK you have to be "settled" for at least one week before marriage can take a place, in RP it is even longer. But as i said - not sure about Malaysia.
