    My Dutch hubby had started his IT job in UK, 3 months ago and I have just sold off our family home in NZ.

    I planned to arrive in UK as tourist and immediately send out our EEA1 and EEA2 applications together - can I do this :?:

    Yes - definitely get a family permit!
    And I strongly recommend reading up on rules and regulations - and read all the other threads about EEA2 on this forum. There's lots of information here that can make the ordeal more bearable.
    Here's what I would do now:
    Bring lots of proof that you are indeed married to your husband and that you have lived together. In the UK, gas and water bills are worth more than truly official documents, so make sure you don't throw any of those away before you leave New Zealand (we did...). The most valuable "documents" appear to be bills in both your names. If you don't have any, make sure you get some before you leave NZ. (This will also make it easier for you to open a bank account, etc.)
    Once you are in the country, immediately apply for EEA2 and then ask for your passport to be returned. (Some people also seem to be successful with sending in certified copies of the passport first.) This has no effect on your application. In this way, you will have a passport with a valid EEA family permit which will allow you to leave the country without any worries of being refused re-entry on whatever grounds. If your application is dealt with within the stipulated 6-month period, there will only be a few weeks during which you have no official proof that you are legally in the country.
    Finally, bring lots of patience... ;-)

    Well - I checked ukvisas.gov.uk and they have the following information:

    Here's the link: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/F...t/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1018721068382
    You can apply online, then send all your supporting documents together with the printed application form and it won't take long to get everything back. *This* step of the whole procedure is the most efficient one. And don't be put off by high charges that you may find on some pages - your family permit application is free of charge. They can only charge you for postage because you are applying under European law.

    I'm not surprised you get conflicting information on different official web-sites. It appears to be part of the game... ;-)
