TIL mh: gid det var så enkelt men efter denne smøre fra UK ambassades visa service dropper vi at tage til UK. Vi kommer ikke længere end til tolden i luftehavnen uden et visum. Den frie bevægelighed synes kun at glæde inden for Schengen, men der er jo også mange dejlige rejsemål
Dear Madam,
Thank you for contacting WorldBridge Service, The UK Border Agency's Commercial Partner. We appreciate your patience regarding the response to your enquiry, as WorldBridge strives to provide the most accurate responses to all enquiries. Below you will find the response to that enquiry.
Family members of EEA (European Economic Area) passport holders may apply for EEA family permits. This is an entry clearance that allows the holder to enter, live and work in the UK. This entry clearance is free of charge and it is valid for six months.
The application procedure in Denmark is as follows:
Entry clearance applications in Denmark may no longer be submitted by courier or third party agent. You must now submit your application in person. This is because biometric information (fingerscan and your photograph) will be taken at the British Embassy in Copenhagen at the time of application. You should obtain and fill out applications online at:
http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/ApplyNow.aspx
In order to apply for the EEA Family Permit, you need to select “EEA/Swiss Family Member” as the Purpose of Application and “Family Member of an EEA National” as the Type of Application. Please note that EEA Family Permit holders may only travel with the EEA national (enter the UK) or join him/her in the UK.
After you submit the application online, you will receive an email with an application ID number. Save this number for future reference. When the online application has been electronically submitted you will be given the option to book an appointment at a time and date of your convenience to submit your application and provide your biometrics.
British Embassy

The UK government is collecting biometric information (by means of a photograph and a fingerscan) to help strengthen the UK ’s border controls. The measures will also help protect genuine travellers from identity fraud and will speed up their entry to the UK .
You may pay for your application at the British Embassy in Copenhagen in Krones, cash payment will only be accepted. Please note that visa fees can change at short notice. Kindly visit
www.visainfoservices.com on the day of application for current fees. The visa application fee reflects the administrative costs of processing an application and is not refundable if your application is refused.

The documents that you will need vary depending on the type of application you are making. You can get information about the documents for each type of application at
www.visainfoservices.com by choosing the „Visa Information” link from the navigation bar on the left. Include all of the documents and information that you can to show the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) that you qualify. The ECO will then make a decision based on the information you have provided. You must provide copies of those documents that you wish to be returned.
Please note that it is not possible to obtain an entry clearance on the same day. In many cases the straight forward, non-settlement visa process not requiring an interview takes 5-15 working days. However, the consideration of the application is entirely up to the UK embassy, and the processing times can vary based on the difficulty of the case and other factors. The processing times are measured from the appointment date.
90% of non-settlement applications requiring interview or further enquiries are decided within 15 working days.
90% of settlement visas are interviewed or decided within 12 weeks.
Worldbridge centers have absolutely no input or participation in the consideration process, so we cannot guarantee consideration times.
Please note that you will not be able to respond to this email. If you have additional questions submit your enquiry via email free of charge by visiting the WorldBridge website at
