Non EU spouses resident in EU, travel to UK without a visa
Sorry to ask this question again but I have not seen a post from anyone who says they have travelled in these circumstances.
My wife is Filipina, I am British and Irish. I have a current Irish Passport. My wife has permanent residency in Spain.
The UK Gov web site says my wife can travel with me to UK using just her Residencia and Philippines PP.
Friends of ours in Spain (husband also with dual nationality same as me, and his Filipina permanent resident wife) recently went to UK having been told that they needed a visa, which they obtained. When they arrived in UK they tried to enter, in effect without using the visa, but were questioned and she was fingerprinted. They asked how many times she had visited UK, for what periods and for what reasons etc.
They were given to understand that ‘it is better’ that when she goes to UK for her to have a visa.
We have seen a great flight deal Malaga to MNL via LGW and LHR so we need to know
Has anyone entered UK without a visa in similar circumstances and if so, which airline allowed them to board without a visa?
Thanks
