Hey Guys
Sorry, this is my first post after trolling this website/blog for a few months I have decided to follow my otherhalf and Join. It is like an online community without the redtape of some other forums/blogs I have encountered that requires you to pay before you post anything.
Anyway, I would appreciate some advice on this pressing matter. I am having conflicting information regarding this.
I am a British Citizen and my wife is a Ugandan Citizen. We are moving to Malta end of June But I am having conflicting info regarding VISA provisions. In theory, she does not even need a VISA according to EU law. However, practical norms dictate and I believe she will be instructed to have one.
By Law, the spouse of an EU citizen is (legally) allowed to live and work in the EU for as long as they want, right? So in theory, the spouse could never be denied a visa, or have to pay for one, right? So the question is how would the non-EU spouse enter the EU as 'spouse-of-EU-citizen' rather than 'general-tourist'? Is this possible? Is this beneficial?
Thanks in advance
