Can I travel to France with my wife and child? I have a British passport and so does our daughter, however my wife has a UK stateless travel document. We are looking to travel this Christmas to her parents' house, because they have not seen the child yet.

Can we travel without a visa for my wife with her UK stateless travel document?

Here's what the French consulate general has to say:

The foreign spouse of a EU national enter France without visa if holding:

  • A valid travel document ;
  • A valid UK residence permit with the endorsement "family member of EEA national" (this endorsement is compulsory to be visa exempted);
  • and if they are joining or travelling with the EU national.

Attention: To avoid unnecessary problems whilst travelling it is advisable to carry along evidence of family relationship.

It seems to be immaterial that the travel document is not a passport, as long as it is valid.
