Visa Requirement for UK Visit as Non-EU Spouse of EU Citizen

Post by aayzee » Wed Nov 08, 2023 4:14 pm

I am a citizen of Pakistan who is married to a Polish national. Both of us are currently residing and employed in the Netherlands, and I hold a Dutch residence permit. We are contemplating a visit to the UK for the upcoming New Year. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any relevant information online. As a non-EU national and the spouse of an EU citizen, would I be required to obtain a visa for our visit to the UK? Any guidance or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

The UK is no longer in the EU/EEA and therefore there is no advantage of being married to an EU citizen (for the purpose of getting a visit visa).

Your Polish spouse can enter the UK and get a visit visa on arrival. You will need to apply for a visit visa, like any other Pakistani national.
