wonlasewonimi: From my understanding the bonus from the government does not need to be repaid, it's just a 25% contribution to your own ISA savings which can be used for the mortgage deposit once you are ready to buy and sorted out the Exchange deposit with the developer. The maximum bonus one can get is 3k though. 1 Like |

fatima04: Are we talking about the same help to buy scheme where you provide 5% deposit and the government assist with 20% towards buying your first property? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 9:42am On May 11, 2019 |
wonlasewonimi: I dont think so, it's the help to buy ISA/LISA you need to open before November 2019 and between now and 2030 whatever you have saved in the account, government will pay 25% contribution to that which can be used for your Mortgage deposit. But the maximum contribution you can get is 3k which means you must have donated 12k into that pot 1 Like |

A neighbour is planning to visit France for few days with her husband, she couldn't get a conclusive info online and she has contacted the French embassy but hasn't gotten a reply yet. Anybody with a practical experience here or know somebody know who has traveled without a visa to other EU country without a visa? |

justwise: Spousal visa, is a local visa. Jurisdiction is only within the United Kingdom and its Islands.... A supported applications would have to be made, by the intended traveller......... It's not a difficult application and always usually granted (unless village pipu no drop for Muritala Mohammed)...... 1 Like |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 1:00pm On May 11, 2019 |

Hi everyone. I am currently in the UK and want to certify some documents. The private notaries I have contacted want to charge me an arm and a leg. I will like to know whether anyone have successfully certified their documents at the post office or their bank. I will like to know if I can get it done anywhere without fees. I have contacted my local court where it's free but the latest date of appointment given is June but I want to get it done by Tuesday. |

justwise: She will need a Shengen visa to travel to France legally. The UK might be part of the EU, but it's not a part of Shengen. If the husband carried a EU passport (not UK), she wouldn't require a visa as long as they are travelling together. I have heard there is an illegal way of going to the EU from the UK via Northern Ireland to Ireland and then by ferry to EU. However, even though border checks are non-existent in this method, I have heard that black and brown people are singled out for checking of immigration documents. Those without Shengen visa are deported back to the UK. 4 Likes |

justwise: ''Residence permits issued by countries outside the Schengen area do not allow non-EU family members to travel visa-free to a Schengen area country'' https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/entry-exit/non-eu-family/index_en.htm#shortcut-2-visa-exemptions Shengen visa application process for someone who has a UK spouse visa is a mere formality so long as there is no criminal record etc. They always grant it in a week or less. |

claremont: Did you read this section from that link? Your non-EU spouse, (grand) children or (grand) parents do not need to get a visa from the country they are travelling to if: They have a residence card as an EU family member, issued under EU rules by any EU country (except the country you are a national of), and they are travelling together with you or travelling to join you in another EU country. The residence card should clearly state that the holder is a family member of an EU national. 1 Like |

claremont: This is from Spanish embassy website: Family members of EU/EEA/Spanish national Under Directive 2004/38/EC and according to Real Decreto 240/2007, 16 February, family members of an EU/EEA national in possession of a valid UK Residence Card specifying its condition as a family member do not require a visa to enter Spain when travelling with the EU/EEA National or joining him/her in Spain. Otherwise, a visa will be still required (Real Decreto 1161/2009, 10th July 2009). For spouses or children of Spanish Nationals the above condition applies provided that the marriage or birth is registered according with the Spanish Civil Register (original Libro de Familia). |

claremont: ..and Italian embassy visa website has this: Visa application exemption for certain EEA/EU and Swiss national family members: Family members of EEA/EU or Swiss nationals holding a valid UK Residence permit as demonstrated below, do not need a Schengen visa to enter Italy/Schengen Area, only if the following 2 conditions are fulfilled: they are travelling with/joining the EEA/EU or Swiss national family member in Italy/Schengen Area their UK Residence permit literally bears the following wording: Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National (endorsed in passport) |

justwise: It seems a bit confusing, but it's pretty straightforward. What they are referring to are people married to EU nationals living in the UK. These people wouldn't be carrying a UK spouse visa, they will be carrying a UK residence permit normally given to spouse of EU passport holder. Legally, a person married to an EU citizen only requires to be travelling with the spouse in order to enter the schengen area. The UK isn't a signatory to the schengen agreement meaning that the spouse of a UK passport holder will require a schengen visa. I stand to be corrected on this, your friend and his non-EU spouse can try boarding without a schengen visa at any of the official ports of entry. Let's know what the outcome is. 4 Likes |
