    Visa for EU are not needed - same with us travelling to the other EU member states

    Non EU is a lengthy, nerve wracking, cruel and wholly overpriced shambles.

    My partners next 2.5 year visa is gonna cost us £1500 (which includes at £500 nhs “subsidy” even tho shes paid tax here for 2 years)

    Anyway going off topic - main point is, its not just a box ticking exercise

    After her next 2.5 year visa she can apply for indefinite leave to remain (permanent residence- which is about £2300 at the moment)

    After that, because we will be married next year, she can immediately apply to be a naturalised UK citizen i believe- christ knows what they charge for that

    If we weren’t married i think you need to wait 1 year after permanent residence

    Lennon said he wasn't even over here yet.
    That's what I thought. Hence why there has been no photograph of him in a Hibs top or even at Easter Road.

    Why does he need a visa here, and not at his home club?
    He doesn’t have a visa to play for Hibs or Man City.

    Are all EU nationality players going to need a visa post Brexit? Bit of a hassle if they are.

    If that does happen, can guarantee that clubs from the english top leagues apications will be fast tracked through, and we'll be left waiting ages.

    So is he eligible to play against Molde?
    I wouldn't have thought so.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this takes a while.

    Someone I have on Facebook has a Canadian wife and it's taken months for her to finally get hers granted.

    That's right - he's been farmed out to City's feeder club in the Netherlands, so hasn't actually been in this country.

    I would imagine Hibs have a deadline for the work permit to be granted for this before the window closes- if the work permit doesn't appear soon, Hibs will cancel the deal and move onto another target. If the permit doesn't get granted there is little point in going through the appeals process, which could take weeks or even months.

    I don't think we'd want to wait until 31 August and no work permit in place.

    He is registered with UEFA for Hibs - it is the work permit that is the issue. If that comes through before the second leg, he would be eligible. However, I doubt he would play as he hasn't been with the team, we don't know what sort of pre season he has had and what sort of shape he is in.

    I know he's registered but if he can't get a visa to work in the UK then his UEFA registration won't do him much good.

    It's that which I'm worried could take a while to get approved.

    Reading that Callum, I feel sorry for you and your partner. That is completely shocking! Can’t understand what were on folks’ mind to listen to racist idiots like Farage & Boris in voting for Brexit? Bloody pathetic! Sorry just wanted to get that off my chest, anyways I hope we are able to get this sorted very soon or potentially if it drags on then NL & the recruitment team might start looking elsewhere.

    Brexit hasn't changed any rules for non-EU citizens.

    What will the post Brexit visa rules be once we are non EU though? I take it visa discussions are part of the negotiations at the moment.

    No- but might give a clue into the governments thinking post brexit

    Take that, that it was then Home Secretary Teresa May that introduced the ridiculous “financial requirement”

    That single rule has either stopped legitimate folk coming, or spilt up families during the process

    UK Govt is deffo making things more difficult.

    Book Festival had about 10 authors refused entry this year, WOMAD festival (organised by Peter Gabriel) had a whole bunch of artists refused entry.

    Immigration is even getting told by home office to check on families which have a child on a UK passport with different name to the mother (I can vouch for this as it happened to us coming back from Portugal a month ago). We are married but for work reasons my wife kept her name - its bonkers, Westminster is taking us back to the dark ages.

    You've also got the persecution of the descendants of the Windrush generation, as well, horrible "get out the country" letters to skilled, talented people who have been here legitimately for donkeys years contributing to society, and sick people being refused cancer treatment despite being here for yonks.

    The Home Office is a thoroughly despicable organisation that a parliamentary committee has condemned as "not fit for purpose".

    We had to prove that my childs mum was not married before in Philippines as if she was then the UK Gov would recognise the father as partners husband (no divorce in Philippines) and not the biological father (me), therefore removing her right of British citizenship.

    That was absolutely disgraceful, and they were treated appallingly. If anything it puts people right off coming here to work- which is obviously what it was designed to do with all the Brexit love-in going on down south, even though they weren't European nationals. I would hope Agyepong doesn't have to go through all of this as well, the deal could easily fall through if they don't give him the required documentation or if there is an excessively long wait. Not cheap either, by the looks of it.

    Some of these stories are incredible - and as someone said above, the Windrush stuff (come over here, work like a dog - passport, eh naw) attitude makes me sick.

    Not getting all party political, bu this is something that only happens due to the Westminster govt.

    I suspect we will need a Visa to go to Europe which could cost anything up to £80 if reports are to be believed.

    Just watching a video of him on his time at BREDA. he looks some player. Hope this visa gets sorted asap. Him and boyles pace with Kamberi and McLaren in there. Frightening

    So theoretically, we could play him v molde away and (fingers crossed) Minsk / zenit away, but not manage to play him in the league?

    As of Wednesday, he hadn’t even arrived at the club so doubt he’ll be involved on Thursday but you never know.

    Daily Star via BBC Gossip still reporting a "visa delay". WTF is going on, or not going on? Something must be different in his case. Worry is that if his work permit falls through, we might have missed out on getting another player in that mould.

    Is that working on the theory that he wouldn't be working "in the UK" for our away games?

    I must admit, I considered that previously but thought it might have been a silly question.
