Non EU travelling with minor EU children to UK

Non EU travelling with minor EU children to UK - Six Assorted-color Flags Hanging on Gray Stainless Steel Poles

I'm a non EU citizen (South African) married to a EU citizen (Portuguese). We have a 5 year old and a 1 year old that both have EU passports. I would like to visit family in the UK, but will be travelling alone with my 2 children. What visa would I require? Could I apply for a EEA family permit or can I only apply for that if my husband was travelling with us? Or would I need to apply for a UK Standard Visitors Visa?



Best Answer

You’ll need a Visitor Visa. You can only apply for a Family Permit if your husband is travelling to the UK with you. https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/eligibility
