Brits Can Bring Foreign Family To UK - Ruling

[johncar54]

Isn't this about a visit visa though, not permanent residence. So she is skipping whatever the opposite of a Schengen Visa for us is? This isn't a big hurdle for any Euro resident (not that I've tried to get an EU visit visa for the UK).

I parallel that case except my wife is Filipino.

At present if we want even to go to say Gatwick and transfer to Heathrow, my wife needs to make a 600 mile round trip to Madrid, to obtain a visa.

That's a pretty big hurdle believe me

That is a bit of a pain. Is there no multi-entry visa so just the one trip to Madrid?
