Non-EEA Travel Documents and Relocation Planning

The Army's ongoing plans to withdraw from Germany will eventually mean that all serving personnel and their families will be required to relocate to either UK or to another country on assignment or discharge.

Current immigration regulations require that all Non-EEA citizens wishing to settle in the UK must obtain a visa beforehand. HQ BFG is therefore looking ahead to ensure that all Non-EEA Dependents are fully prepared to apply for their visa when the need arises.

To prevent unnecessary delays and inconvenience, units will be conducting checks on all Non-EEA Dependent passports during the months of January and February.

If you are a Non-EEA Dependent please take advantage of the opportunity to have your passport and SOFA certificate checked now.
