Essentially the process would be the same though you would have four months time. The problem with self-sufficiency will most likely be that the authorities will ask you to present proof that you have sufficient means for the whole period of your stay...
are you sure it would be that much? we had about 17.5k £ to show in the UK and here it's much more expensive than in Austria (one of our solicitors who was a part time immigration judge also said that would be enough and the min would be 12k or so) . i also remember asking the dutch authorities and they said 20k euros would be plenty in their country.86ti wrote:For a couple their calculation would be something like 700 Euro x 12 months x 5 years. Of course, you would also need comprehensive sickness insurance just like here in the UK.

Theoretically that may work. You certainly would have to make sure to be able to document your current period of stay as thoroughly as possible.bunny80 wrote:someone on this forum told me that she'd have my EEA rights and i know that i am allowed 3 months in any country without exercising any treaty rights.
thank you for all the replies, you're great!86ti wrote:Theoretically that may work.

Yes. You should always keep in mind that the interpretation of EU law may have some "peculiar twists" in a particular country, i.e. interpreted to your disadvantage. Deriving income from gambling may be a problem in some countries, I don't know, and your experience here in the UK may not have been the worst one. You know that nationals of the A2 countries still have restrictions regarding taking up work. Who knows if not some member state would want to see you as a "worker". And not to offend, but you may simply face opposition because you are from an A2 country. Finally, moving frequently between countries may also be seen as a form of tax evasion.bunny80 wrote:by ''theoretically'' do you mean it's fine according to the law but some authorities aren't good at its interpretation or can be moody about it?
My point here was merely to make at least sure that you have proof that formally documents that you are within your rights. Whether your plan would work out long term or not I can't tell. In any case, make sure you understand EU law and if possible also the national implementations. Also, try to find internet discussion boards to get more insight. The Austrian one above may be a good start.bunny80 wrote:so if we travelled around europe and kept the receipts/contracts from the places we rent would that be ok?
