Re: Travelling through EES citing EU Directive 2004/38/EC - travel with Spanish

I don't have rights. I'm not an EU citizen. The rights are my wife's; her right to have her spouse join her in her own country. I can travel to join her not because of my rights, because of hers.

Re: Travelling through EES citing EU Directive 2004/38/EC - travel with Spanish

We were married in Spain and have the certificate not just the libro de familia so I'm assuming that's all good. I hadn't thought about a notarized copy of my wife's DNI/Passport. Good idea. Although...

Re: Travelling through EES citing EU Directive 2004/38/EC - travel with Spanish

Agreed. I don't have rights in this situation (if only) - it's about my wife's right to have me join her. The EU directive uses the language of 'accompanying or *joining*' the EU spouse quite...

Travelling through EES citing EU Directive 2004/38/EC - travel with Spanish wife

I wondered what people's experiences have been when leaving Spain with a Spanish spouse after staying more than 90 days (citing 2004/38/EC). Maybe I did this wrong but I arrived in Almería recently...

OK, fair enough.

Re: Travelling alone with Libro de Familiar, UK passport, without ES wife
