Question when moving/travelling to EU countries

Post by emu5007 » Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:58 pm

Hello, I have a question because I feel I am in a complicated situation and cannot find info on the Internet about this. I am a Swedish citizen currently working in Bosnia. During my stay here I met a girl and we are married now. We married here in Bosnia. Now I have been offered this excellent job in Amsterdam and I wonder what I need to do in order for my wife to come with me. Also one more question regardless of the first question, lets say I want us to go to Greece for vacation. What would she need to do to obtain Visa? Does she even need one?

Appreciate all the help you can give me. Thanks!

You are an EU citizen and so have the right to travel to another member state for under 3m without restriction. Your wife has the same rights as you, except that she can be required to have a visa if she comes from certain countries. The visa must normally be issued quickly, and at no charge.

You are Swedish. You have these EU rights when you move or travel to another member state. These rights do not (necessarily) apply when you move or travel to Sweden.

Read more about Directive 2004/38/EC to understand you and your wife's rights.
