travelling the eu as a non eu member but with a yellow slip residency.
11 RepliesHi there, My fiance is south african and i am an eu citizen. we are getting married in the next few weeks and we will be applying for his cypriot residency (yellow slip) through my eu status. I was wondering if he will be able to travel the eu with me, without the need of attaining visas? will a yellow slip be accepted at the airports? If anyone has any advice/ information that might I will appreciate it very much!

Be careful with some of the incorrect information people are posting here.
Uk is not part of Schengen. Cyprus, also , is NOT part of Schengen !

The yellow slip does not allow your husband to travel within the EU. If you want to visit the UK you will have to apply to the British consulate in Nicosia for a visitors visa. ( Lots of paperwork, an interview and a fee) A Schengen visa is free and will allow you to travel to many Eu countries.
After you get married and have applied for your husbands yellow slip, expect to wait for several months before it is issued!!!!!!. Don't book your flight to Europe just yet

Ok so following on from this question , I am English , my wife is Ukrainian and she already has her yellow 5 year tempary residence paper for Cyprus . So what is the proceedure with border immigration for main land Europe and also for UK when arriving for a holiday from Cyprus ?
does she need schengen visa and British visa ?
thanks.

Hello Sjg-uk,
Schengen visa, Your wife goes to one of the consulates with hers and your papers and proof of your flight and they will issue you with a visa very quickly.
Uk visa, your wife fills out the applcation on line, pays on line, makes an appointment for a interview on line. Then she goes for the interview at the consulate in Nicosia. Take all paperwork,hers and yours not forgetting a download of the interview appointment and a copy of the payment. After that hopefully they will send you a visa so apply well before the time when you want to travel.
Have Fun

Hi I hope everybody knows evevrything, if your third national countries , and you are married with EU citizen, and you have yellow slip from Cyprus, you are allowed to travel in all Europe without visa only with yourhusband or wife, and if you traveling alone then u need visa.Have a nice day
