Exercising Treaty Rights In Spain

[Alf Witt]

Does anyone have any experience of exercising treaty rights in taking an unmarried partner and her child to live in Spain (provable long-term relationship and visitor visas over last 4 years available)?

Does Spain recognise unmarried partners?

Can application be made from the UK?

What forms are necessary and from where can they be obtained?

Should application for leave to remain in UK as unmarried partmner be made first or would that be inconsistent?

Thanks for any information.

I don't believe that Spain recognises unmarried partnerships. On that understanding, your other half and her child won't benefit from any Treaty rights.
