@ Directive just an update if you would have any idea on this,
we went to the town hall for our anmeldung, my wife included my name on the form, so we have an address now, getting a job for my wife would be the hard bit as she is pregnant and also her profession requires knowledge of the German language as she is an NHS registered Nurse.

My wife has been providing some services here and she is being paid in cash, (Hair stylist) her number of clientele is growing, and the pay is considerably good, I am wondering if my wife could be deemed self employed on that basis, and if so as she is being paid in cash for these services how would she be able to declare income for tax purposes if you have any idea on this.

Thank you

I am not sure what the German self employed rules are. Sorry. Is she being paid illegally (schwartzarbeit) or is it being transferred to her bank account and reported to the authorities?

She is being paid in cash and it gets paid to her postbank account by her. We are keeping record of these income so that we would be able to pay taxes on them, I know the taxes wont be hefty though . We do not even know which office we need to go to declare the income.

She isn't working for no one, it is still a word of mouth thing as it is in that she goes to people's house to make their hairs or they come to us to have it done, transportation cost is included if she has to travel to them.

do we have to go to the tax office to inquire about paying tax on this income , and what is the office called if you know it

I suspect if you report it, it would count as self employed.

You would need to contact the Steuramt (or something like that). That in itself will be an experience! (Not sure it will be a positive experience unless your German is good)

Often the private insurance is actually cheaper than the public. Or it least it was when I bought insurance. Very odd.

Thanks guyz I will keep you informed of progress.

I will firstly thank God for progress being made,and then to everyone who have contributed to my thread thank you for your support and guidance especially Directive2004/38/EC.

We have moved out of the Munchen Area, houses seems to be too difficult to come by in Munchen, so we are in Bremen at the moment. we have 2 job opportunities in Bremen and we shall decide which way to go on the two.

We have been to the Auslanderbehorde, they noticed that my one month visa has expired and they didn't say anything to me orally, I am guessing they might be asking for a valid visa prior to making an application for residence card. My wife was issued a Bescheinigung gemass & 5 FreizugG/EU.

The visa man listed their requirement and I can hardly understand some of it so I would need anyone with the Deutsche knowledge to help me with a human translator Google doesn't seem to be doing a good job at that.

NationaLpass mit visum, this is the particular one I didn't understand which seems to be a valid visa to me not sure what it is.

he then again requested to have the marriage certificate legalized, he also requested house contract, and after seeing our Anmeldung which was under the same address I am not prepared to give him that as I do not even have it.

Now my point is if the Auslanderberhorde refuse to accept my application, until all (his) requirements which are not required in the directive are fulfilled to whom can i turn to for assistance? the application form he gave me doesn't say residence card or EEA or EU something like that, it says on it application for granting a residence permit, is this the normal practise in Germany?

And finally on the form it asked how long I am planning to stay in Deutschland, it ask for from date and ending date shall i just put N/A in those field or something.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, frei

could you please provide more information, what segment are you working on (public, private, etc...)

Since these things are case specific please provide detailed background info

Thanks

Thanks docteurbenway, My wife is working in a private sector, she had just been handed the work contract. They talked about legalizing my marriage certificate again, the Embassy in Ghana says they have stopped all legalization and has been replaced by a verification method. I do not know if we will be responsible for the verification fee which is around 560 euros. And more so since I was issued a visa by the embassy one will assume they would have done these checks before the granting of visa.

If you have any idea on this kindly shed some light.

Thanks
