Excuse me. I seem to be hitting a wall with this. I would like to apply for an eea family permit, problem is everytime i try using https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/apply it takes me to https://www.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa. meaning, I am asked to apply for a uk visa after clicking apply on eea permit. does that seem correct? if so, should i go ahead and select family visit visa since I am planning to settle with my husband in the uk

try going to this link https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome and then try to register over there. Perhaps this might do the trick.

peainapod

yes I did. theres a list of visas. theres no option for eea family permit just family vist and others

peainapod

HEY YOU HAVE BEEN OF GREAT HELP. i finally found it. problem was on choosing the reason for vist. i kept choosng visit, but when i chose other, the eea permist showed up just now. thankyou. i should buy you a coffee sometime. thanks

fcbayern84

I am glad you've managed to find the right reason. I appreciate the coffee offer but I am located around about 420 Km away from your city. Good luck with the Family permit application!

Hi peainapod,

I've moved your thread to the England forum

all the best,

Julien

peainapod

THANKS and i found what i was looking for

peainapod

hey, I got an email yesterday saying my passport and documents have been sent to me via dhl. There was no word on the actual decision. any idea what this means?

fcbayern84

It usually means you've got the EEA Family Permit but it's not a 100% guarantee. I'd hold my breath until I see it with my own eyes.

peainapod

Thanks...im waay too nervous.thinking their emails are cryptic.lol

fcbayern84

Don't be nervous. I'd say prepare and good luck!

peainapod

Thanks. Ill let u know

peainapod

fcbayern84

Congratulations and good luck!

peainapod

Thanks

peainapod

Hi.do you know if i.need a one way or return ticket

fcbayern84

You do not need to purchase a return ticket. You can go in and out of UK for 6 months and your time starts when you enter UK for the first time.

peainapod

Thanks again😃

Thanks in advance

peainapod

Mann123

Thanks for quick reply , yeh I choose family visit less then 6 month , on tlscontact website I didn't add the courier service when I registered, can I add it now ? If not how will I be able to collect my passport?

peainapod

if youve registered on tls then it should be fine. just keep checking and they will tell you when your passport is sent back. as long as you have indicated your GWF number on tls then you will get it back

Hi I just got the email that my passport and attached documents have been sent to my address I have provided, so my question is , will it arrive today ?? And on the teleperformance website the " decision made" nor "sent back from consulate"  was not clicked so I'm a little confused what's happening
