    Hi There

    The Family of EEA Nationals

    Under EC law, EEA Nationals who have travelled to another State of the EEA to exercise their ‘Treaty rights’ are entitled to bring to that country their family members, who are given the same rights to reside and work there on the same basis as the principal entrant.

    ‘Family members’ are:

    spouse

    children under 21 or dependant on their parents

    dependant grandchildren

    non-dependent grandchildren under 21 (in the case of workers only)

    dependant relatives in the ascending line (e.g. parents, grandparents)

    Depending on the status of the principal entrant to the UK, there are some variations in the family members who will be allowed to come into the UK.

    Could it make an difference to entry, if a family member is not an EEA national ? The answer is ‘yes’. A non-EEA family member intending to accompany the principal entrant to the UK must get an EEA Family Permit.

    If the non-EEA family member is coming to visit the principal entrant, and is the national of a country whose visitors need a visa to enter the UK, then that family member will also need to get an EEA Family Permit. But if the non-EEA family member is from a country whose visitors do not need a visa to enter the UK, an EEA Family Permit is not necessary, as long as the family member is staying in the UK for less than 6 months.

    An EEA Family Permit is proof of the non-EEA family member’s eligibility to enter the UK under EC law. An EEA Permit is free of charge, and has to be applied for in the country in which the non-EEA family member is living. Application should be made to the nearest British Embassy, High Commission or other British Diplomatic Post.

    Regarding your overstaying , I do not think it matters,do not try to lie about it thou,if asked.

    Regards

    Triple H

    VAF1 is if not married

    I assumed that you would be married prior to your trip to UK.Your husband to be is french passport holder?!So your family permit visa would be one for you in my mind.It should be given to you free of charge and no questions asked.After initial 6 months you would be given up to 5 years resident permit.
    Your overstay is not the problem at all!

    OK,

    If you are married you would need EEA Family Permit, if not ,you need VAF1 , simple as that 8)
    Independently,on your own,yes,different visa rules may apply as I gathered from that site.
    Kuala Lumpur Embassy can answer few questions,if you are not sure.

    Good luck!

    To apply for a family permit you will need to fill in form VAF1 - non-settlement.

    any idea of wats the difference between a social visa and a visitor visa??

    I rang the Indian embassy here, only to be connected to a rude advisor.

    I explained my intentions to marry in India, and asked which visa to apply for?

    He said SOCIAL VISA! I asked him again is it same as visitor's visa...he screamed saying its SOCIAL VISA! SOCIAL VISA!

    i was speechless after tht..

    I just opened my passport to see my Indian visa I got few few years back in Bangkok.Its said its visitors visa,and purpose can not be changed.
    So I guess Social visa is something they issue that you can get married over there(purpose visa).Probably will cost you more also.
    Such as life ;)

    thank u again Triple H..

    im just confirming things..

    as u said if im married apply for family permit, if not VAF1

    http://www.fco.gov.uk/Files/kfile/VAF1,7.pdf

    from the above VAF1 application form one cud see there s a box for type of visa/permit to be ticked as 'a non eea dependent of an eea national'

    once i am married, i shall apply for this visa!? :eek:

    since we failed to get proper answers thru phones/emails..my bf planning to walk in to the French & Indian embassies in London next week. Our friend in India, had gone in and enquired at the French Town Hall!? in P'cherry.

    We cud get married there after submitting some forms at the French Consulate. Hopefully it goes well.

    will keep u guys updated.

    reply from FCO

    Reply fr FCO for my Q on which form should i use:
    _____________________________________________________________
    If you will be accompanying your spouse to the UK (or joining a spouse who is already there), it is open to you to apply for an 'EEA Family Permit'. This permit will allow you to reside with your spouse in the UK and to engage in employment without a work permit or to study.

    For more information, please see leaflet INF 18 on our website. This includes details of the supporting documentation that must accompany the application.

    An application for an EEA Family Permit should be made on form VAF 1, which may be printed-out from our website.

    The application should then be submitted to a UK visa-issuing office in the country in which the applicant is lawfully present (the permit cannot be obtained in the UK). A list of these offices will be found on our website. (NOTE: For a person applying within the European Economic Area (EEA) (that is the EU member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) or in Switzerland, a valid residence permit for that state must be produced for the application to be accepted - without such a residence permit, the application must be lodged elsewhere).

    A straight-forward application for an EEA Family Permit made in person will normally be processed speedily. The permit is issued free of charge.

    The permit has a validity of six months from date of issue. The holder of such a permit wishing to stay in the UK for longer than this should then apply to the Home Office (www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk) for a UK residence permit.
