EEA Family Permit Visa provides entry into the UK for non-EEA family members of EEA nationals currently or intend to reside in the UK.
In theory, for non-EU spouse and civil partner, an EEA Family Visa is not required as permission to enter the UK can be sought at the border. However, when travelling with family to the UK, we strongly advise travelling with a family permit as some airlines may refuse you permission to board fearing they are fined for carrying someone who requires permission to enter the UK. In addition, you may be refused entry by immigration officials if you do not have an EEA Family Permit. In cases like this, it is better to be safe than sorry.
An EEA Family Permit is valid for six months. After this period, you will need to apply for a new permit if you are staying in the UK or apply for an EEA Family Residence Card to formalise your right to remain in the country.
