Hello mgb,mgb wrote:1. The address registration (Anmeldung) should be done in the 2 weeks after you move in at the Bürgerbüro.
2. The foreigner office (Ausländerbehörde) is responsible for the residence card and they have 6 month time to issue it. The application should be done in the first 3 month of the stay.
3. The landlord has to sign the address registration application for both. The rent contract doesn't matter.
Hello gokulati,gokulatti wrote:Hi, I am unaware of the exact requisite for SS in UK, maybe someone with more experience for UK might help you out. For SS technically you need minimum 3 months of exercising treaty right in an other member state, you can expect something similar for UK.
For germany, for residence permit for your spouse in berlin https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/324282/en/
The 30 day visa your wife received is the entry visa to move to germany so as to apply for her residence permit as mentioned above, you and your family member have 3 months of unconditional stay in germany, which means you don't have to put the above application immediately, you can sort out other everything first and then when all are in order you can apply whenever you want within the first 3 months.
Landlords are obliged to add your spouse name in the rental contract on your request usually they do it on their own, also make sure the space is just enough for a couple. They cannot discriminate based on your spouses nationality. However, If your spouse isn't working they might have to make sure you earn enough for the both of you and maybe you might need to pay additional deposit.
The maximum time allowed for an article 10 residence card is 6 months. If it is a straight forward application, you can expect it to be done in 2 to 3 months. good luck
No, she doesn't become illegal, she has the right to stay unconditionally for the first 3 months because YOU as an EU citizen have right to stay for 3 months and she has her rights derived from you. You should also understand, once family ties has been established, any grounds for refusal can only be on public policy, security and health. illegal stay isn't one of them. There has been cases where a TCN has been staying illegally in an host member state before meeting a EU national and subsequently had family ties and have been successful in their application later on. illegal stay on its own isn't grounds for refusal in the context of directive 2004/38. So my advise is don't worry too muchnight_star wrote:Ok just to clarify one thing, after the 30 day visa has expired, does my spouse become illegal? If we dont extend the visa, but she simply stays with me for until 3 months from the date of entry is that making her stay illegal? Thanks and your help is much appreciated!
To avoid any confusion, the Board's word sensor auto changes k i t c h e n to read 'Spam'. Wanderer wasn't referring to a lack of the 'delicacy' tinned chopped pork & ham!Wanderer wrote:Couple of random thoughts as they occur to me from our time in Germany (not SS related)
1. To deal with officialdom decent German is required, IMHO experience of all the Northern EU states Germany and Germans are the least likely to understand English.
2. You interchange 'partner' with 'spouse' - note that Germany does not recognise unmarried partners for family visa purposes, locally or EU.....
3. Renting a place is a bugger in Germany, when I was there I think we paid something like 3 months in advance plus 1 and 3/4 times rent to the letting agent (tenant pays the rental fees in Germany) - was over €8,000 and that was while ago! Also renting is considered a long term thing, when you move in there is virtually nothing in the place, no Spam, no fittings, no light sockets sometimes, just bare wires. You can rent with these, obviously costs more but be aware and familiarise yourself with the local renting jargon.
Apologies if you know all this and also when I was there it was 2007 so things may have changed bit!
I can believe that would true, the NHS is the shining light of the UK - having worked in many EU states I can confirm there is nothing remotely close anywhere else, apart from maybe the Nordics.night_star wrote:Hi all,
Thanks a lot for your response. It has been very useful.
Just heard a horror story by word of mouth from someone who said that they travelled with their dependent parent who was unemployed to Germany and had to buy out private health insurance which was not cheap! I just wonder if any board users here can relate or maybe tell otherwise....For my case with my spouse can we expect to be in this situation of having to buy private insurance as wife does not work/ will not work in Germany. Any suggestions of who might be a good (cheap but covers the useful needs) private health insurance company?
Thanks.
If you work no. Your wife will be covered from your health insurance as worker.night_star wrote:Hi all,

If the eu citizen is not selfsufficient this is a offence against the law.waqasars wrote:

Salam waqas bro, I'm from Ireland and would like to cantact you plz regarding process in Germany. You can reach me EMAIL REMOVED BY MODERATOR. Plz non English text removed, thankswaqasars wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2017 4:20 amMy Residence card just approved on 11 May 2017. The decision was made on the spot. So application processed in one working day. I will receive the card in 3 to 4 weeks. I got my document number and issue, expiry date on approval receipt.
Here is my complete story.
1: Booked accommodation on https://www.thehomelike.com/. you just have to pay the first month rent
online using credit card.
2: Arrived in Dusseldorf on 15 February 2017 and Got confirmation from apartment owner on my name and wife name.
3: On 17 February 2017 went for residence registration with Local Town hall. Only passport and owner confirmation require for this purpose. The registration process took only 10 mints and anmeldung paper was in our hand You can go by appointment or without appointment.
4: 20th February 2017 went to Ausländerbehörde Düsseldorf to apply the residence card. Again went there without appointment. They refused to talk without translator. The were very rude and did not speak a single word of English.
5: Again went on 21 February with translator They said you people come without appointment and i dont have enough time to process your application today. I will make a new appointment. He made a new appointment and provided a list of documents for residence card.
6: We went again on 15 March 2017. Our bad luck translator was late by 10 mints. He did not process the application bcoz of the translator was late. But he provided some information like we need working contract of Eu citizen and the Salary should be 1000 Euro Net.
7. The new appointment was on 11 May 2017. This time he deal us without translator. He was very nice this time and processed the application with complete documents. He did not ask a single question about documents and related application. He approved the residence card on the spot and told me it will be valid for 5 years and you will receive it in 3 to 4 weeks. Only paid around 29 Euro fee for the card.
Following is the complete list complete documents.
1. Passport
2. Passport Picture
3. Marriage certificate translated in German and orignal
4. Birth certificate of applicant translated in German and original
5. Anmeldung for both
6.Work contract on my wife name (We provided 1300 Euro Net salary)
7. Health Insurance (Confirmation Letter) of my wife ( You need a regular German Health insurance as they will not accept other Eu country insurance) in our case it was AOK.
I advise you book your accommodation through homelike its a bit expensive but good to complete the process. They will not ask for work contract. Here in Germany landlord rent the accommodation with work contract.
It is very hard to find a job without German skills. My wife got the contract only 2 days before our appointment.
I dont know about Berlin. But in my opinion Dusseldorf is good to process the application.

Waqas
