Thank you very much but I thought a European spouse does not need a visit visa to the UK if he or she travels with their spouse

You are actually correct that you don't need a visa when travelling with your spouse, however, that rule isn't applicable if travelling with your spouse from outside the EU.
In other words,you can ONLY travel without visa if accompanied by your spouse within the EU. See Eu regulations concerning this.
You require a visa to come to the uk after which you can apply for a residence card as confirmation of your right as a family member of an EU national.
The type of visa you will apply for is called" family permit visa" and the official length of time to deal with this kind of application is 3 weeks.
Pls check the UK border agency website.

Thank you.






What is best administered is best.

As a family member of an eu citizen, a visa or residence card is a mere confirmation of an existing right, a right derived from being a direct family member of a union citizen. Although from outside the eu, most airline will not allow you to board without possessing a valid visa but nevertheless, you might find it easier travelling within the eu freely.

When you say European citizen, I guess you are referring to the EU. But even if your spouse is an EU citizen, being Croatian doesnt qualify and you may not enjoy the benefits family members of older EU member states Enjoy. If your family member is exercising his/her treaty rights in the UK, then a visa should be issued to you within two weeks, and it must be free of charge. If you could give more info, I might offer more advice.

No if travelling with the EU spouse, but yes if travelling alone to the UK.
