My husband a non-EU passport holder (Armenia) and I an EU passport holder (UK) wish to go to Germany. I would like to know if he needs a Schengen visa to go to Germany or is there no need?
He has a "leave to enter" residence card for the UK, as well as this my name is written in his Armenian passport and our relationship (Wife).
Best Answer
Yes he needs a visa, but it should be issued free of charge as long as the UK remains in the EU. The residence permit you describe does not count as an "article 10" card. See Travel documents for non-EU family members.
