    Firstly thanks for this wonderful forum, all you people giving time here are doing a great job for people in need.

    I have found out that a non-EU spouse of a EU national on a tourist visa in that country is allowed to apply for the EEA Family permit to UK from that country, according to this UKVisas website, is it practically true?? (UK Embassy in Warsaw doesnt entertain telephone enquiries rather advices to call the visa agent which charges $14 a call for assistance) :rolleyes:
    Any one applied without the Karta Pobytu (Polish Temporary Residence Card) and got the EEA Family permit?


    And, does anyone knows if it works the same with any Schengen Visa; if any non-EU spouse of a EU National can apply for a Schengen Visa still on Tourist Visa in that country and before getting the temporary residence card?

    Yes you can apply just with visa without residence card, but you know if they wont give you family permit straight away that it will take 6 months and without correct 6 months visa you wont be able to stay in Poland and they will take it as you overstayed in Poland and also wont give you FP. So would need to get it all within 3 months while visa last , otherwise would need to withdraw.

    Don't know how is it with schengen - visa I suppose its same . Just go there and apply (Especially when they refusing to give advices via phone, email...Ridiculous!!! ) If it will be wrong or you will be missing some documents they will tell you .

    Wow, it goes that fast? I am suprised it takes only a few days to get the visa. By the way, may I ask what is the difference between the EEA Family permit and the Schengen visa? (I am doing some research on this and do not know much about it yet.)

    Wish you all the best with your marriage.
