Applying for EEA family permit from India-- NEED HELP

I am looking at immigration assistance for UK. My spouse has naturalized Portuguese passport and is moving to UK.

I am an Indian by birth and hold Indian passport. I would like to travel to UK to stay there and work. I am currently working in an IT company in Bangalore and my company has agreed to let me continue working in the UK as well but they will not be sponsoring my Visa. As far as the research I went through I will be eligible for EEA permit so I will have to get a EEA family permit to go to UK and under this permit I can work in UK without any issues.

I wanted to know what documentation would be required from my end and also from my husband's end? What financial information would be required and where will I have to apply for this permit? I am not finding much information online. Are their immigration attorneys who help with this issue?

You will need to pay UK tax, are you sure your employers has thought this through?

Under EEA permit I am guessing I will be allowed to work. I will obviously get a transfer letter of sorts to work in UK.

Also my husband doesn't have PR in UK yet so I am wondering if I will be eligible for EEA permit at all?

Provided your husband is accompanying or joining you, you will be eligible to apply.
