Thanks for all the information, I was admittedly confused and I'm researching constantly. @MSH; Where did you get this upwards of 10 months statistic from? From Migrationsverket (The Swedish Immigration Authority). http://www.migrationsverket.se/info/3419_en.html I live in Sweden as a EU-citizen ex...
Just so now one gets their hopes up too high: Currently, the Swedish authorities only issue residence cards and more importantly, id-numbers, to third country spouses married to EU-citizens WORKING in Sweden. Student and self-sufficients are excluded from this privilege. So my best advice to Salsita...
You're being overly paranoid. The Swedish are sticklers for rules and regulations and no one who wish to remain employed in the service of the Swedish state will blabber about confidential private information given in a visa application.. Tell them to follow the procedure for application given to th...
You will not be allowed to board the plane without a valid Schengen-visa to France. The airlines are fined heavily if the board such passengers without valid visas, so the just don't. Forget about showing the directive 2004/38, no one ever heard of it and they frankly don't give a sh*t even if they ...
All of those people working in Denmark but residing in Sweden are both self-sufficient and cross-border workers since they return home each day from Denmark to their home in Sweden.
Can you give more details from the cases you have heard of... I am involved with a website that offers free legal advice to bi-national couples in Denmark. The cases I have been masde aware of all stem from there. What is the EU citizen doing in Sweden? Most, but not all, work in Denmark but reside...
Do they require the insurance for the EU citizen? Do they require it for third country children of the EU citizen, or only the spouse? From the cases I have heard of so far it seems as if it's only the third-country spouse the swedes are targeting. I haven't personally heard of any cases yet where ...
Where is it stated in the directive that only the union citizen can be required to show proof of comprehensive insurance. This might save me some money :) Art. 7 lays out an exhaustive list of requirements for union citizens and art. 10 lays out an equally exhaustive list of requirements for their ...
For EU citizens who are students and self-sufficient, they can be required to have CSI. It is not explicitly stated that this also applies to the non-EU spouse, but is generally assumed to. Well, all I can say is in that case those assuming this are clearly in the wrong. The Directive is exhaustive...
Any links to Swedish official web sites? Does this depend at all what the EU citizen is doing in Sweden? No, the swedes probably know just how illegal this is. This is an 'un-official' policy change, most likely adopted to try and combat the huge influx of Danish citizens fleeing the dearly beloved...
Just a heads up to any EU citizens contemplating a move to Sweden: The Swedish authorities have now begun a practice of demanding comprehensive health insurance for the third-country spouse of a union citizen moving to Sweden. This is, as you may or may not be aware of, not in line with the conditio...
just a thought, doesn't it states that under zambrano parents have to be able to support their children financially without becoming a burden on a state... if that is a case, and the person cannot afford to pay 150 euros for the GNIB card, how can they support their children? (mind you that 150 eur...
The Zambrano-judgement explicitly states the right of residence afforded to Mr. Zambrano derives directly from art. 20 and NOT Directive 2004/38/EC. HOWEVER, what if a third-country parent don't have the money to pay for their residence permit under Zambrano? Will they then be denied a permit by the...
[see] Article 10(2) for the exhaustive list of required documents Article 10(2) lists documents for a Residence Card . While you can hope and assume that the same list applies for entry visas, it is not explicitly stated. I think if it were were explicitly stated, we would not have this problem! It...
This is the Danish government's official stance on Zambrano: If one of the parents is a union-citizen the child can stay in Denmark with that parent. This way the child's right to remain on Union territory is uninfringed. Therefore there is no need for issueing work-and residence permits to the thir...
as a Danish citizen emigrating from Denmark due to the rampant beloved and state-sponsored discrimination against all (brown) froreigners, I can only encourage you in the strongest possible sense of that word to NOT GO.
In which country was the marriage conducted? The Gambia. Was it a civil or religious marriage? Religious. What language was the marriage certificate in? English. Where you applying for a Residence Card? If so, in which country? Denmark, then Sweden. Where you applying for a visa? If so, whose embas...
Thanks Obie! Yes, the Danish ultra-right wing government have deliberately mis-interpreted Carpenter for a decade. I am currently preparing a lawsuit against them with the help of an anti-racist organisation with experienced lawyers working pro bono.. eventually it will hopefully be brought before t...
We're now waiting for the Swedish residence card to be issued and then we will have to have it sent over to us here in Brazil so there hopefullly won't be any reason for concern when returning.
Hello again, writing from Brazil, so we obviously made it.. My wife (who is from a visa-required country in West-Africa) and I went over to the german border guard in Franfurt airport, I put down our passports and said 'this is my wife, do you need to see a marriage certificate?' He checked her pass...
Hello, I agree that the only documents you should be asked to provide when accompanying your EU-citizen child to Poland is passport and his birth certificate. You can try to contact the Polish SOLVIT and see if they are willing to contact the embassy on your behalf and explain community law to them,...
