|
|
Hello All,
Don't know if this has been covered before, and the search engine isn't working on my end.
I am an American marrying a Brit this summer--- I have done some research and it appears that after applying for a visa - - I am allowed to work within the UK. My question is, am I also able to work throughout the EU?
Has anyone been in a similar situation---if so--- any insight to obstacles or pitfalls would be appreciated. The visa advisory in Birmingham made it sound extremely straightforward and simple.
Thanks in advance,
texas |

In the UK, your spouse will have to earn a certain amount of money before you'll get the relevant visa to stay. |

You may be able to work in an EU country where your UK citizen spouse has (prior) secured a job. On your own, as a spouse of an EU citizen, highly unlikely. |

Thanks for the information guys----my fiancee has a job in England and meets the salary requirements in order for me to obtain a visa. I was curious if I could secure a job at an international job within the EU a year or two down the line -- most jobs in EU countries ask that you have the right to work within X country--- I did not know if my work visa would fall under that umbrella.
Thanks again. |

EU citizens have the right to work and live in other EU states. The right to work of family members MAY be restricted unless they too are EU citizens. |
