Apply for another EEAFP in a country I'm not from?
Posted: Fri May 15, 2015 3:19 pm
Hi guys! I'm an American citizen with an Irish/American wife, and presently I have an EEA Family Permit.
The expiry date on my current EEAFP is expiring and I haven't gotten my EEA Residence Card as of yet. Ordinarily we'd just wait, but my wife and I are visiting her sister in Italy soon, so I probably need another EEAFP.
I can't apply for another EEAFP from within the UK, is that correct? Can I apply for another EEA Family Permit while in Italy, or do I have to go back to the US?
Or does it just make more sense to take our marriage certificate and joint lease with us and get a Code 1A at the border when we re-enter the UK? What are the odds of us having problems, if we are entering together with those documents? Can anyone share their recent experiences?
Thank you!
