Just spend the last few hours reading some of the extensive topics that are in this forum on visa and settlement issues.

Reading through all the stuff, i have some questions come in my mind:

1) according to regulation an EEA permit must be given free of charge (as long as they do not feel it is a mariage of convenience etc), however the application centre charges a fee of 450 baht to process the application. Is this applicable for a family permit?

2) TBtest: a fee for the certificate is 2050 baht, but no fee will be charged for spouses? Do I understand that correct? If pregnant, what tests do they do as I understand that a chest x-ray is not done?

3) When we arrive in the UK, is she allowed to go with me through the EEA line as she is travelling on a family permit? (I remember reading something like that earlier but can't find it back)

For the rest, have had a lot of questions answered, even questions i dd not know I had Thanks

1. See UK Visa Application Centre's Dependent of EEA National checklist. I believe that just the Service charge will be applicable.

2. See also Requirement for Tuberculosis Testing for Applicants Visiting the UK for Longer than 6 Months.

Only spouses and children applying under the Family Reunion provision do not need to pay the fee at IOM–Those who believe to belong into this category should check with the UK Embassy.

Pregnant women are advised to present their Ante-Natal Care Book. Sputum smears tests should be conducted instead of X-rays.

3. See also What happens on arrival in the UK. Not sure what queue she should join. It may depend on passport. Non-EEA queues may be shorter and quicker. Whichever queue she joins, you should be with her.

For further information, see also The EEA family permit.
