| Nov 8, 2018 at 7:45 | comment | added | phoog | I am claiming that. The directive and its implementation are complicated, and the simplification that goes into describing it for public consumption sometimes results in inaccuracy. A couple of months ago I wrote to the eur-lex people about an oversimplification on the legislative summary for the directive, and they fixed it. I won't have time to post a properly sourced answer for several hours, however. | |

| Nov 8, 2018 at 7:26 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | This is wrong. From the linked page: "They can ... join you in another EU country." (my emphasis). If the OP's wife is in the UK, you are right. If she is in Sweden, this is entirely down to Swedish law. | |
| Nov 8, 2018 at 7:25 | comment | added | phoog | The page is wrong. It says "If you live outside the EU and your non-EU family members accompany you or travel to the EU country of your nationality, EU cross-border rules do not necessarily apply and your non-EU family members might be charged visa fees" but it should say "if you live outside the EU or in your country of nationality..." | |
