    Hi!
    To keep it short, I'm a Pakistani wife married to an irish national who currently is in uk.

    I want to apply for my visa from Pakistan
    But am confused.

    1. Should I apply for EEA family permit or settlement of wife of an eea national?

    2. I travel to and back to UAE and hold a residence visa, last I came back was in September 2015 and my 6 months will complete in march 2016, would I still need a TB certificate?

    3. My husband says I don't need an English language test as a spouse of eea national. But just in case I want to know if I need one. I've done bachelors in arts in English advance but my final year result is not out yet. Thus I have no prove that I did that yet.

    4. Do I need to answer every unnecessary question in the VAF5 form i.e EEA family permit as a spouse of eea national?


    I'll update my queries if I have any.
    I want to apply my visa asap.
    Waiting for replies and thank you in advance.

    I suppose your husband will apply for your spouse visa but I'm not sure.
    Do you both intend to reside in UK or in Ireland? It may have effect on the application process.

    I'm applying for myself. For an eea permit many people gave clarified it for me. We intend to reside in uk. And the mentioned certifications are not needed.

    EEA Family Permit.

    Your husband is correct.

    No. You need only demonstrate that:
    1. Your husband is an Irish national;
    2. You are his wife;
    3. Either that your husband has been resident in the UK for less than three months or that he is engaged in economic activity in the UK or that he is undertaking a course of study in the UK or that he is financially self-sufficient or that he has lawfully resided in the UK, as an Irish national, for at least 5 years.

    I love how you answered point to point. I'm now very well informed. Waiting for the original supporting docs from my husband. I'll apply as soon as I have them.
