I am a resident of France and want to visit a family member in the UK who is quite ill. I will be traveling with my spouse who is French.
Do I need a visa? I read online about an EU family permit but am not able to find any links to apply for it.

4To answer we need to know your citizenship. Residency in France and/or (post-Brexit) having a French spouse does not in itself mean you can enter the UK without a visa. Have you checked the advice tool published by the UK gov.uk/check-uk-visa?– TravellerCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 11:55

Eligibility criteria for a family permit and how to apply are here gov.uk/family-permit/… However, based on your question you most probably don’t qualify.– TravellerCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 12:07

Thanks! Yes I did use the tool to check and it says I won't need a visa if the person I'm traveling with is a EU citizen. But like you pointed out, I'm quite doubtful still, that's why I put up a question here. I'm an indian citizen. Quote directly after using the advice tool " When you might not need a visa You may be able to apply to come to the UK for free instead of paying for a visa if your partner or family member is a British citizen or from another European country." I don't know where to apply for this particular visa? Is it tourist visa or something else?– Margo EgeCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 14:45

You can check if you’re eligible for a family permit to join family in the UK here gov.uk/family-permit. The section relating to EEA family permits on that page states that applying for an EEA family permit is no longer possible. Therefore, based on the info in your question, you’ll need a visitor visa.– TravellerCommented Dec 14, 2021 at 16:13

I’m voting to close this question due to its age and lack of an answer.– TravellerCommented Apr 14 at 8:26
