justwise: I don't know why you keep dredging up posts as if i didn't see them in the first place. By the way, the link you provided was for people of other nationalities who wants to come and join their family members in the UK, not an EU person that wants to come and join their family, which the OP is enquiring about, ENTIRELY TWO DIFFERENT THINGS justwise: Our post is based on his initial response too, he is not an EEA national so if he wants to visit or join his family in the UK he needs to apply for an EEA family permit, which is a form of entry clearance (like a visa) that you are given, free of charge, so members of your family who are not EEA nationals can travel to the United Kingdom. If he is in Nigeria, he can apply for his from the Embassy there, and if he is already in Europe, he can apply from there. END OF tigerpaws: Of course i relish the idea of knocking commonsense into you however minute the case maybe, even if like you said "your enquiry is dumb" So you admit you make dumb enquiries which means that you are dumb yeah, i like you, your honesty is refreshing |

clearly justwise does not even know diffrence between being an Eu Reisdent and being an Eu citizen your looking at as if MY INTIAL POST WAS ASKING IF AS A EU/Schengen Resident permit Holder does that make your chance of Getting A uK IRELAND OR USA VISA EASIER PERIOD |

eghost247:Friend, there was absolutely nothing wrong with your post, neither the initial nor edited version, it was that troublesome mosquito that started all these mess and the silly name callings, and those who trust her to know everything followed. My sincere apology. |

ehost247: Why not wait the few more months to knack 5 years so you can get the chance to naturalise where you are, before jumping ship to UK? What Country are you in by the way? Do you have EU national family members in the UK already as this is the easiest route? |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by Vicjustice: 10:57am On Oct 30, 2010 |
Busy_body:Easy said. Actually, in some countries like Greece, staying five years with the Residence Permit does not guarantee citizenship, they have a system of delaying and frustrating aliens with their residence permit until they're fed up and quit hoping. Many people live with Greek Residence Permit for even up to 20 years. Greece has a system of issuing Bebeosi (pronounce Veveosi) after a residence permit expires, this is a system where by a long term residence permit holder is issued this official paper (Bebeosi) stating that the holder is waiting for the renewal of his or her residence permit, it waiting period can take up to 3 years before his Residence Permit is reissued and the Bebeosi collected. It's frustrating |

@Vicjustice Thanks for the link but that was not what i was looking for. The link i asked for is to clarify the idea that somebody with EU residence permit(not the schengen version) need a visa to visit the UK. The link you provided did state whether the individual was holding ordinary schengen visa or EU residence permit. I'm asking for a link that will clarify ur statement here: Everyone irrespective of the nature or category of residence permit that he or she holds NEEDS AN ENTRY CLEARANCE (a visa) to enter the UK, except one holds an EU passport. |

justwise: fOR Family members who are not EEA or Swiss nationals If your family members are not EEA or Swiss nationals and they are coming to live with you permanently or on a long-term basis, they will need to apply for an EEA family permit before coming to the UK. The EEA family permit is similar to a visa and is issued by visa services. Your family members should apply for an EEA family permit at their nearest British diplomatic post.

@Busy_body. This is the original post: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Ireland and Us Visa there was no mention of a family member visit here, and my first comment on this thread was based on that, not based on Schengen version of EU residence permit. Like i said b4, i want a link to clarify Vicjustic's comment here: Everyone irrespective of the nature or category of residence permit that he or she holds NEEDS AN ENTRY CLEARANCE (a visa) to enter the UK, except one holds an EU passport |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by justwise(m): 11:38am On Oct 30, 2010 |
eghost247:Do you hold ordinary Schengen visa or EU residence permit, that is my question to you. |

Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by eghost247(m): 11:50am On Oct 30, 2010 |
did i ever make mention of schengen Visa in my posts i said EU residence permit IF SOME HAS AN EU RESIDENCE PERMIT WHICH DOES NOT GO TO THE UK DOES THAT MAKE HIS CHANCE OF GETTING A UK VISA IF HE APPLIES FOR IT EASY simple |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by justwise(m): 11:54am On Oct 30, 2010 |
eghost247: Interesting, you did not mention that but you agreed with Vicjustic when he said you were talking about Schengen visa version of EU residence? |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by tony13: 11:57am On Oct 30, 2010 |
eghost247: if you are working ,you will get the visa. fill the form at the embassy, pay slips x 2 bank statement and your passport with your residency. you should be grand if you need more explanation i can help you get info here, where are you in Europe. |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by eghost247(m): 11:59am On Oct 30, 2010 |
Your Mixing things up man listen let me break it down u have eu residence it can go to everywhere in the schengen area but it cant go to the uk what am tryna say is that if u apply for a uk visa at least that respect will be there that being an eu resident permit holder u probably wont overstay your visa and all that i mean visa application is all about convicing the embassy that ur worth the visa so from my own conclusion i believe that if u have an eu resident permit u have better chances of getting a uk visa than someone who does not have an eu residence permit |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by tony13: 12:03pm On Oct 30, 2010 |
eghost247: yes there is respect but you must be working or a student, be ready for above document, i am speaking from experience , also hotel reservation. bye |

justwise: FOR WANT OF GOING ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON, AGAIN I SAW THE ORIGINAL POST And my input on this thread is not about Schengen version either, only Vicjustice introduced that angle to the mix, AND EHOST247 STILL NEEDS AN ENTRY CLEARANCE (A VISA) BECAUSE he is not an EU national or citizen as he does not have long term residency yet, so his citizenship is determined by his passport not his country of residence, and his nationality NIGERIAN is one that requires a Visa to enter UK. FURTHER SOURCE : http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexU… justwise: The answer still remains the same, regardless of what he holds, throw in the towel and stop your lame attempt at cheap point scoring please, its getting pathetic and lame and painful to watch, please fold your overplayed hand. Enough already abeg, no one has a monopoly on all the knowledge in the World, and that includes you and I Of course, this is just a friendly advise, so feel free to ignore tigerpaws: Yippee, glad for the feedback to let me know i hit a nerve. Yay, glad to see i still haven't lost it |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by Vicjustice: 12:09pm On Oct 30, 2010 |
justwise:[size=15pt] That's incorrect, i didn't mention Schengen visa version, i said "Schengen Version of the Leave to Remain or Stamp4 (as Ireland has it)", No visa there. Now, whether EU Family Member, Schengen R.P, or "EU Residence Permit" whatever; there exist no category of Residence Permit in the entire world that allows the holder to enter the UK without Entry Clearance (Visa), the same thing goes with Ireland. Everyone is required to obtain a visa except one holds an eligible passport. Anyway, now that we understand what the Ghost-man 24x7 said, lets correct our errors as i take the responsibility to apologise for everyone. Eghost247, please, accept our apology.[/size] |

Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by Busybody2(f): 12:49pm On Oct 30, 2010 |
justwise: Limp and lame to now try pass off my input as insult, but i am not surprised, it is usually an attempt utilised by drowning rats clutching at straws to keep afloat Nothing new under the sun |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by justwise(m): 12:54pm On Oct 30, 2010 |
Busy_body: On a good day, you would not get any informed response by querying people's intelligence in such condescending and arrogant postulating manner. You so wanna be right you have become rude in your attempt and are refusing to take other people's opinion at face value. Another friendly advise you don't have to take nor sarcastically thank me for As for the link, forget it, why bother, it is clear you can't wait to punch the air in victory and say we are wrong and you are right, so i would not wanna knock your hustle and would rather you be left free to keep wallowing in your ignorance, so feel free to continue, and leave us be to continue with our collective uninformed conclusion, its a free World, nothing do you Not an insult? Thanks as i said b4. |
Re: How Easy is it for a Person with Eu residence to a get a Uk Visa by Busybody2(f): 1:00pm On Oct 30, 2010 |
justwise: That is not an insult, it is to do with you feeling too big tobe corrected like a G and me just helpfully telling you to feel free in carrying on with your perceived height of intellectual superiority. And no need for your sarcastic thanks, save it, before someone comes along to tell you where to stick it |

I know there is something in that UK water that turns men into wusses, but man up, it will give you the strength you need to swim against the tide and save you from acting like a big girl's blouse who has to have the last word, especially with a female of the species, o ma shey o |
