permanent residence vs f card
Hi,
My husband has worked for more than 10 years in belgium and now has permanent residence of Belgium.
Same for me, and I have changed my nationality to Belgian now.
So i want to compare the 2 types of cards to see what advantages each has.
One thing i know if UK travel. So as spouse of EU citizen you dont need a UK visa if you are travelling with your spouse.
Any other advantage?
Also will he has to wait for F+ card for another 5 years? And if somebody can help me compare permanent residence vs F+?
TIA
The UK leaves the EU soon and once potential transition periods are over, so will non EU and visa nationals who are dependent on EU nationals exercising EU treaty rights will be treated like all other non EU nationals who need visit visas.
Dependents of Belgian nationals who are non EU and visa nationals do however need visas, as Belgian nationals are not exercising EU treaty rights so the non EU nationals aren't in Belgium either. So eea family permit in your case is still needed now. You can request the visa be waived but need lots of paperwork.
If your spouse has a d card, keep it.
You get what you're given under Belgian law. I don't see where the choice comes in.
