Sommerferie i England

[OBrian]

Hej

For ikke så længe siden bookede vi sommerferien i england. Jeg tænkte ikke lige så langt at de jo ikke er med i Schengen.

Nu har vi så været igennem online visa ansøgning (værre end familiesammenførings ansøgning!)
og skal til personlig samtale i København d. 5. juli

Problemerne er:
- Vi skal begge møde personligt op til mødet! - Jeg har meget svært ved at få fri fra arbejde lige op til sommeren...
- Vores fly afgår d. 13. juli, så jeg håber godt nok ikke det tager alt for langt tid!
- Det koster 650 kr???

Er der nogen af jer der har prøvet at være igennem møllen, der kan fortælle hvor langt tid det egentlig tager?

Hejsa
Jeg går ud fra du er dansker der er gift med en Filippiner og i begge er bosat her i Danmark.

I skal ikke søge et normalt visa men derimod noget der hedder eea visa. (EEA family permit)

Min hustru var turen igennem for 1 år siden. Dette visa er gratis og det var kun hende der skulle møde op på ambassaden. Jeg var taget med derind men måtte slet ikke komme med ind.

Jeg mener det to omkring 2 uger at få det. Først skulle hun lave en ansøgning og i denne forbindelse skulle hun samtidig aftale tid for et møde. Jeg mener hun kunne afhente visaet ca. en uge efter mødet.

Et EEA family permit visum er gratis

Ja, faktisk burde det være endnu nemmere. I og med din filippinske kone har ophold her i DK, burde hun slet ikke skulle søge om visum. Men England har fastholdt denne ulovlige procedure. Derfor skal du søge om dette nedennævnte EEA family permit. Det er jo en ø og derfor er de nok lidt mere protektionistiske. Men I er heldigvis garanteret denne permit. De kan helt bestemt ved kort ophold ikke give afslag.

Hej
Tusind tak for svarene - så har vi nok lavet en masse forgæves papirarbejde, da vi har søgt om alm. visa (som tager op til 6 månder :) )

Hvor kan man søge om EEA Family permit - jeg kan ikke umiddelbart finde noget om det?
(Jeg har søgt på google og på den britiske ambassades hjemmeside.)
Eller er det bare at hun skal møde op på ambassaden (til en aftalt tid) og det er det?

Havde jeg da bare valgt Paris i stedet - det havde da ikke givet alt det her stress... :o)

VI havde ligeledes en masse problemer med at finde ud af hvordan det fungerede.... VI skrev så til dem. Jeg har lagt deres svar her.

Family members of EEA (European Economic Area) passport holders may apply for EEA family permits. This is an entry clearance that allows the holder to enter, live and work in the UK. This entry clearance is free of charge and it is valid for six months.

In order to apply for the EEA Family Permit, you need to select “EEA/Swiss Family Member” as the Purpose of Application and “Family Member of an EEA National” as the Type of Application.

The application procedure in Denmark is as follows:

As of June 21, 2007, entry clearance applications in Denmark may no longer be submitted by courier or third party agent. You must now submit your application in person. This is because biometric information (fingerscan and your photograph) will be taken at the Embassy in Copenhagen at the time of application. You should obtain and fill out applications online at:

http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ApplyNow.aspx

If you complete an application online, you can make an appointment to submit your application and provide your biometrics. When the online application has been electronically submitted you will be given the option to book an interview at a time and date of your convenience. After you submit the application online, you will receive an email with an application ID number. Save this number for future reference.


You may pay for your application at the Embassy in Copenhagen in cash in Kroner currency only. Please note that visa fees can change at short notice. Kindly visit www.visainfoservices.com on the day of application for current fees.

The UK government is collecting biometric information (by means of a photograph and a fingerscan) to help strengthen the UK’s border controls. The measures will also help protect genuine travellers from identity fraud and will speed up their entry to the UK.

Troede kun EEA Family Permit var til ægtefæller af EU-borgere, der flytter til et andet EU land og ikke til ferieformål? Men det kan være jeg tager fejl.

Min kone har selv brugt dette visum til at flytte med mig til England og nu Holland - uden et eneste problem. På den britiske ambassade i Manila tog det kun 4 arbejdsdage, at få EEA til UK, så det burde ikke være det store problem hvis dette visum også gælder jer. Et opkald til den britiske ambassade burde kunne opklare dette rimelig hurtigt.

Mvh.

Vi brugte det som ferie så det kan bruges til flere ting :-)
