Hello, I am an Austrian national married to a non-EEA national who was issued the EEA Family Permit to join me here in the UK.

1. Do I have to have a work offer, contract, from a British company before travelling to the UK? I intend to travel there and look for a job once I am there. 2.

Hi, I am planning to move to the UK together with my wife. I am an EU-15 national she is a non-EEA citizen. My wonder if my wife, once she has been issued the EEA Family Permit, is allowed to work in the UK. If the EEA Family Permit is not enough, what other permit does she have to apply for in the ...
