Hello everyone, Please l need urgent advice,l am a Belgian, My wife and l have been married now for three years, we have a daughter of 2 year old how is a Belgian. my wife is a Nigerian and has a Belgium ID card(resident permittee) . My question now is does she need a visa when she is travelling with me to the UK?. Thanks for you answers

You need to clarify whether your wife is non-eu national who has Belgian residence permit or Belgian National ID card.

If she has residence permit that is normally issued to non-eu nationals by the member state then she will need EEA family permit in order to enter UK because UK does not recognize the residence permits of other member states at the moment.

Thanks foryou reply, my wife is a non-eu national who has a Belgian residence permit or Belgian National ID card. Thanks

How do you plan to travel? If by air, you might find it difficult to convince the airline to allow your wife to board the flight without a visa. It should possible if you take the train or drive.
