new European Spouse Visa Application Assistance & Legal Guidance | Cochin

Applying for UK visa as a spouse of a European national living in UK (European spouse visa).

If a citizen of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland is living in the UK in accordance with the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, their family members who are not EEA or Swiss citizens also have the right to live in the UK. For that, they have to apply for a European Spouse Visa.

If you are the non-European family member of an EEA or Swiss national, and you have come to the UK with them, you can apply for a residence card. This is a document which confirms your right of residence under European law. Your residence card may take the form of an endorsement in your passport. You will be initially given 6 months to enter UK. After the 6 month period you can apply for a residence permit which is normally valid for 5 years from the date when it is issued.

The European spouse visa applicant must submit a valid passport for the application for residence card to be approved. Also, the EEA
national must be exercising treaty rights in the UK and evidence of the same must be submitted with the
application.

Appeal against refusal of an EEA residence permit.

If your application for residence card is refused by the Home Office, you will have a statutory right of appeal against the refusal of the application unless you did not provide the evidence of your family member’s nationality i.e. the ID card or passport of the EEA national. Appeal against the refusal of residence card application must be filed within 28 days from the date of receipt of the refusal letter. We can assist you in relation to your appeal against the refusal of your residence card application.

If you have not been granted right of appeal against the refusal of your application and you disagree with the
reasons for refusal, it is also possible to challenge the refusal of your application by way of Judicial Review in
High Court.
