f) Passengers having a valid common format residence permit issued by an EEA state
or Switzerland.
Passengers having a valid common format residence permit issued by an EEA state or
Switzerland do not have to be travelling to or from the country which issued the permit.
Please note that there are several forms of residence permits issued by EEA states but the
only acceptable permits are those which are issued following the directions given in the Council
Regulation (EC) No. 1030/2002.
These permits may take the form of a vignette (sticker) in a passport or a plastic card. There
are several common features of these cards all set out in the directive – the permits are
coloured mainly pink and blue, each has an EU Kinegram, also printed on the permits is the
image of a bull and five stars. All other permits such as the large A4 sized Italian Permesso di
Soggiorno, or an Irish Work Permit sticker are not common format residence permits and are
not acceptable as an exemption document for DATV nationals seeking to TWOV. |
