Re: Residence in the spouse's country and national laws

Oh... :S That is a terrible story and I'm so sorry you have to go through something like that. EU law I *think* says that after 2 years (I might be wrong on this number..) of residence even if you get divorced, the non-EU spouse retains their right to live/work in the EU. This of course only applies...

Re: Residence in the spouse's country and national laws

This is a very difficult question that you are asking. I guess if we pool our resources on this forum together we can come up with good answers. First off, I'm really sorry if your 3rd residence permit request has been rejected. That's terrible! What country is it ? I thought most EU countries give ...

Re: UK and Schengen visit visa from dubai

There's no issue. Just submit both visa applications with a detailed itinerary. As long as they have return tickets from the UK, everything should be fine. You can even submit flight reservation info from the UK<->Switzerland for the schengen visa - if you've already booked them.

Re: Schengen Visa for Family Member

Once the visa is issued, you can use it for other trips. There's no issue as long as your initial application was in good faith. Enjoy your summer trips :)

Re: Can two same gender non EU citizens enter civil partners

Congrats! The procedure should be the same as if you are German/EU citizens. Just follow the procedure for registering a civil partnership in Germany. India will not recognize your civil partnership but it will be recognized in countries that do recognize such a union. You should get some kind of ce...

Re: Eu Spouse visa

For the Czech republic you will have to apply for a short stay (90 day) visa and go there. You can do this very easily AFTER you are married. You must have a government issued marriage certificate. http://www.mzv.cz/jnp/en/information_for_aliens/family_member_of_an_eu_citizen/index.html Once over th...

Re: Germany - settling in Berlin ? (Portuguese + Non EU Spou

@ALKB - Thank you so much for the super detailed response. Looks like the procedure is quite straightforward.

So as I understand it, the self employment registration, tax details, etc. aren't required for the residence card because of the order you specified.

I agree liksah, but these embassies ,for example the French embassy in Nigeria says legalising a document does not mean the document is genuine, so why bother with it? The German embassy in Nigeria stopped it altogether, perhaps they can't seem to see the point of it :shock: I wasn't aware of that!...

Hi there Liksah Thanks a lot for the reply! I will consider apostilling the CP certificate but it is a bit of a hassle and I'm not even sure how to do it. I'm worried that I'd have to go back to Vietnam (as the guy in the Embassy this morning said) and visit the UK Embassy as well as the Spanish on...

Congrats on getting the visa so quickly! In my opinion it's always better if you can get the marriage certificate/partnership document Apostilled. Since Britain is a signatory to the apostille convention, a British document (I understand your civil partnership document is British ?) could technicall...

You will certainly be able to look for a job and find work. I'm not 100% sure about the legality of starting to work (most likely your employer will wait for the residence card to come through..) while your residence card is under process. However, spouses of european citizens exercising free moveme...

As a US citizen you wouldn't need to get a visa to enter Germany. So, once you enter you have to rent a place, register that with the local police station, they give you a receipt, and then you have to go the foreign office and apply for a residence card. I'm actually planning a similar move with my...

Hi everyone Been lurking around these forums for ages and decided to finally ask since I have a burning question. Me and the wife are planning to move to Berlin, Germany for the next few years. I hold an Indian passport, she holds Portuguese. I understand that we can move there as a part of her exer...
