Dec 8, 2015 at 20:26 comment added phoog @Kiko also note that much of this discussion about what an EEA FP means, and the conditions of issue, is obsolete. The permit serves as evidence ofright of free movement, whether for a long-term or short-term visit. I understand that the government used to view them differently, which explainsthe confusion.

May 26, 2014 at 12:37 comment added Relaxed I think the EEA FP can be granted several times but it can only be used once (i.e. you need another one if you want to leave the UK and enter again before getting a residence card – which holders are expected to seek after entering the UK since the stated goal is allowing people to become residents and not merely visit).

May 26, 2014 at 12:31 comment added Relaxed Yes, it makes sense, that was more-or-less my thinking as well but the gov.uk website does not seem to mention that particular visa, which is a bit confusing. But maybe someone with practical experience or a better knowledge of UK law than myself will be able to shed some light on all this. What is clear in any case is the EU regulations only apply if your wife is traveling with you.
May 26, 2014 at 12:23 comment added texnic @Relaxed: I am not positive, but I think the clearance I have is not the same as the “EEA Family Permit”, it's a visa. I've got it really for visiting the country, I am expected to leave afterwards. It is in line with the EU regulations of freedom of movement. The “EEA FP” on the contrary is about the ability to enter the UK and stay there. The questions in the application form are therefore different. Also the EEA FP is only granted once.
May 22, 2014 at 16:37 comment added Relaxed “EEA FP” presumably means “EEA Family Permit”, which is indeed valid for 6 months. But my understanding was that such a permit is issued to people who want to move to the UK, hence my confusion. I don't think it would be valid if your wife is not traveling with you or living in the UK but I am no expert.
May 22, 2014 at 16:27 comment added texnic @Relaxed: I also cannot find it for some reason, but I've checked — you can end with this choice if you try to apply for the visa again. I added the details to the question.
