So I am an Irish citizen who moved to the UK 9 months ago to live. I met my Turkish fiance in Ireland at University. He had a study visa for Ireland and worked for a few months after studying. I then moved to the UK and he applied for a 6 month visitor visa and was successful in obtaining it. We lived together for those 6 months in the UK but then it expired and he had to return to Turkey.
So now we are engaged and are thinking of getting married in 3 or 4 months in Turkey then applying for the EEA Family Permit so he can join me in the UK.
I just need some information about the EEA visa;
- Does anyone have experience of using the EEA visa?
- Do I need to be earning a certain amount to sponsor my future husband on the EEA visa?
- What evidence do they look for?
Any advice or information would be great,
Thanks
