Hello,

With my wife and our children, we plan since a long time to come from France and visit the UK with our Eriba.
Finally, we decided to do it in April 2020 for a 3 weeks trip, and take a ferry return ticket from Calais to Dover.

I am French, my wife is Cambodian and she has a 10 years "Titre de séjour" allowing to work and live in all European Schengen countries.
She asked for the French nationality, but it takes now two years.
Our 2 little girls are born in France, they are French and they have their passport.

We already traveled in many European countries with our Eriba.
Until now, my wife wasn't needing a Visa to go to the UK.
But from now on, I do not know anymore.

I called Brittany Ferries, the french PAF (french Borders police) and the English immigration service. They all don't know.
The PAF said that until now she wouldn't have had any problem.
The English immigration service said that she maybe needs a EEA family permit, but not sure.
They gave me the number of the Visa service of the UK embassy in Paris, but the number never answers ...

In short, we are a bit lost. We have no answer and do not know to whom to ask.

Would someone have an opinion or an idea on the subject, or possibly could help us?

Thank you,
Eddie

I've no idea but maybe this uk government webiste on the subject could help

I't is my belief that when Britain leaves the EU there will be a 12 months transitional period where everything will remain the same as it is at the moment .This is only my opinion but it gives a point to start from and to check what the powers to be come up with.

Thank you for your answers and advice.
Beginning of next year I'll try to reach the Embassy, but it seems to be difficult.

Have a Merry Christmas !

I Agree with Tomored above. It is unlikely that there will be any change to present immigration/visas etc as early as Spring 2020, more likely 2021, if then. So, whatever applies now, will still apply in Spring 2020.

My humble opinion

Dave

Hello Colin,

I would be more than interested to come, that is why I need (or not) this visa.
My fear is to arrive in Dover and to be turned back by the customs police.
