scotty92 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If your children are british then they will not be able to get a visa..it's not legal they would have to get a certificate of entitlement the right to abode(I know I thought the same......)in their thai passport and this would give them the ability to come and go to and from the uk as often as they like for the duration of that passport.

beano2274 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 you wife and kids must apply for a visitors visa from the British Consulate in Spain. If you were in Germany or Estonia all your wife would need would be her Residence Permit, proving that she is married to an EU National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NACHALUAY Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 first of all, thank you for taking the trouble to reply maybe i wasn't totally clear i am british i had been resident in spain already for many years when i met my wife in thailand on holiday (some 5 years ago) her husband had died previously we got married and all went to live in spain (after lots of paperwork) therefore my wife and kids are 100% thai they have the right of abode in spain due to the shengen agreement , as i am an eu citizen i recently adopted the children whose ages are 12 and 14 we want to go for a holiday and visit my brother's family who are all uk citizens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 still need visas, and like I said if you lived in Germany or Estonia then they would not require visas, as only these two countries have Residence Permit cards that are security cleared by the British Government. So visa time I am afraid to say, although some people might say just fly and take your marriage certificate with you and you will be okay, but do you want to chance it.

scotty92 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah I agree I think you will have to go the usual visa route! Does anybody know what happens to the children through adoption will they get British citizenship???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
