Well I just got an email from the Portuguessr Embassy in Jakarta seeming to say that they dont accept eea applications if the wedding was celebrated in the Phils only if i was married in a member state I dont believe this is right any more than the rest of the nonsence ive had but im seeing my lawer on monday and what i need is any links to european law on the right to family life and any cases that were tried and where the right was established It would be good to have cases like Dom where he as a italien got this visa i would also like to make contact with john car on the other site as i believe he did this to spain my lawer isnt an expert but any help i/we can give her would be much appreciated
following on from Doms links found this but no source to the relevant law http://www.euraxess.pt/incoming/visas SEF Necessary documents for family members Valid identity card or passport; A document proving the family relationship or quality as partner, if this relation or quality is not evident from the valid identity card or passport; A certificate of registration of the accompanied person; Documental proof that he/she is dependant (only in case of direct descendants over the age of 21 or direct ascendants); In cases laid down in n. 2 of article 3 of Act 37/2006 of 9 August (other family members) a document issued by the proper authority from the country of origin or provenance, certifying that he/she is dependant of the accompanied person, or proving that there are serious health reasons requiring imperatively the personal assistance by the accompanied person. Family members of third country nationals Portuguese law recognises that any national who holds a valid residence permit is entitled to family reunion with family members living abroad, provided that they have lived with him in another country, or that they are his dependants, or that they are living with him, whether the bonds were formed prior to or subsequent to the entry of the resident into Portugal. For the purpose of family reunion, the law regards the following as family members:
I guess that this paragraph, kind of cover your needs quite nicely............ So, really I cannot understand why they are playing silly buggers.............. I suppose a quick solicitor letter, threatening European action, may just move things your way.
Keith, sorry I'm not able to help you. I have no experience at all about immigration outside of UK and I have no contacts to ask. I'll look through some Euro Law and see if there is anything additional to what has already been posted. To be honest I was expecting it would be easy. If you really feel you are hitting a 'brick wall' you might try looking here at SOLVIT
Keith, I did some further digging for the original documentation and wording on the EU law and I believe this is the EU 'Law' / EU 'Directive' you may be looking for:- DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States.... I hope this will help. If it's not what you want just say. I'll look again. Happy reading (actually it's not too bad, and it's in an easily understandable format)
Brilliant Peter just what i needed My consular official has said they will issue a "family tourist visa "(shengan) which means i shall have to purchase refundable singles to show a return date for the airlines and initial arrival point in the shengan area ,as well as travel insurance for the visa validity in addition i dont know yet if they will want visa application fees of around 200 euros so ive told my lawer after they arrive i want compensation for all additional expence including hers from the Portuguesse government they are just incompetent buggers Below the most recent I have removed the name of the guilty Dear Mr. KeithAngel Thanks for the communication and as you already understand, the application visa for your family has been processed, as a normal- tourist visa. The Consular Section is handling your family application VISA with more priority. Best regards, .
