So you are living in India with your two British children (wife is no longer in the picture, though you are not yet divorced).

And you want to move to France? Do you need to work or are you self sufficient?

Thanks Guru for your reply,

I am not yet divorced. I donâ€™t know what is the option available for me. But I think I will go for self sufficient. Can you tell me what are the rules for self sufficient. There is another problem that I have read in the directive that I need my ex partner permission to take children with me I donâ€™t know how to over come this problem because I have no contact with him and even I contact him he will not allow to take children with me.

Please reply

Thanks

Do you definitely want to go to France? Is so you should think of a Chen ruling residence. You would need to be financially self sufficient, and could not work.

If you want to go to the UK, then you could think of a Zambrano ruling residence. In this case you can work.

In both cases your children would be with you.

Do you presently have any European visas or residence permits? And in which country is your separated spouse?

Hi Guru,

My separated spouse is a British national. He is currently living in the UK. This is the reason that I donâ€™t want to come to the UK. I had two year British fiancÃ© visa which has now been expired. This visa was an entry clearance visa which was issued when I got married.
Can you advice me what are the rules for self sufficient visa for France and what are the requirements.

Regards,

This is the case: http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2007/02/09/chen-case/

I do not know how France implements it, but the EC ruling applies in all EU member states.

Do you have any idea that what are the requirments for this kind of visa and then residence permit.

I have no idea for the french. You can read about the UK requirements on the UKBA web site, and it should be similar for France.
