Thank you so much to this forum!

Hello, I am the OP here. Writing again as I (UK citizen) have just accepted a job offer in Prague. I will travel to the country from Bangkok around the end of July 2014 with my partner and our twin daughters. I just can't find any info online to confirm that my UK civil partnership will be acceptabl...

Hi there, I live in Thailand and hope to bring my Thai partner and twin girls to live in Spain for a year or so to exercise my treaty rights. I have been asking a few questions elsewhere and it seems that the requirements at the end of 90 days for EU and non-EU family members in Spain have become co...

You do not need to fill out any information in the visa application form about where either of you are presently working, where you will be working in the UK, or about your assets. I think it is best to not answer those questions entirely. In fact I think it is a good idea to include a cover letter...

My thoughts are not printable....... I read this this morning. I really hope that they do not have the power to make the changes they seek to make. Or at least that they are unable to make them before the general election. Hopefully I will be with my family in an EU country by 2014 and will escape f...

Hi, re teaching, I might do ESOL, but I am looking for work in British international schools - I am a qualified teacher. If you trained in the UK as I did and want to teach in Ireland, you have to familiarise yourself with Catholicism and Irish language and take additional qualifications to work in ...

Hi there, thanks for all the useful tips - I have started reading. Sorry if the posts are unhelpful - I didn't know how to obtain specific country info without referring to it in the post title. I have edited the name of this post now - is that the sort of name you had in mind? We are interested in ...

For my partner to gain a residency permit as my spouse, what requirements need to be met for the various countries in the EU? We are lesbian and in a UK Civil Partnership. I am...

Hi again- I am pregnant, and so the babies also uk citizens. Because we are civil partners my partner registers as the second parent when they are born. Many EU countries accept the CP as a valid document for the spousal residency card, but it is known to be trickier in say Italy. But we don't know ...

Yes, I assumed that the UKBA would make it as difficult as possible, however, I feel the temporary sacrifice of a move to a EU country would be worth it, even if we might be able to make it into the UK under UK immigration rules. The stress of keeping up the requirements for the 2.5 and 5 year check...

Thanks for this speedy response. I am sure I will think of lots ofo ther questions as time goes on!
