You can hate the French for it if you want but your husband will need a visa - in practice.

On paper, he doesn't need visa to any EU country if he is traveling with you but in practice it depends which country you are going to. France does require visa.

Unless you are good in fighting your way out and ready to give it a go with the airline check-in staff in UK ( who wouldn't let you board him because of no visa ) and possibly on arrival at French airport ( assuming you pass through the check-in at UK airport ), I would suggest you get a visa to avoid the headache.

Good luck !

 

I have same question aswell. Am from indonesia and my fiancee is from Ireland and working in scotland since 2008. We r getting married next month in scotland. I recently get settlement marriage visa uk valid for 6 months but they told me i can switch to spouse visa as soon as we get marriage and have the papers. We've been thinking to travel to ireland after the wedding but irish consulat in indonesia told me i have to make a visa and the biggest problem also i can't make it in UK. Is that kind of mistake or i should ask irish consulat in UK. Because am gonna lived in UK if i have to send all my docs to indonesia and collect my visa in London.. it is complicated and to much job and expensive. my question is.. if its posibble for me to make irish visa in UK? or can i switch my settlement marriage fiancee to EEA family permit after we get married. As we pay for 810 pounds last time just to get this settlement visa ... Hope anyone can help and thank you so much. cheers
