I'm already searching a lot on the Internet but usually what is written on the official immigration sites of each country is completely different to what people face in reality. For that I'm asking people to share their experience and whether they had any difficulties or no.meats wrote:A search would give you the answers you need.

Hi Rozen, I see you are from Holland so you could advice me sth about the system in your country. Do you know how much time I need to work in Holland as I could take my husband? Do you know if Dutch require to show RH when applying for a visa? Or do they check if marriage is not faked after my husband's arrival inside Holland for a period of time? I have also heard that Dutch require to take Dutch language courses. Does my husband have to show he speaks Dutch exactly when applying for a visa or later inside Holland after a period of time? Do you know how much income I have to show and whether they check each of us bank accounts?Rozen wrote:The fact is, you are looking for a simple answer, and there isn't one! Why? Because you don't have a particular country in mind! This is why it has been suggested that you take time to trawl through various threads to see what different people have written about different countries. 'Difficulties', or the lack of them, will depend on your individual circumstances.
Hi, I've already read that Directive. Nothing is clearly written and I need clear facts and figures. To read all these documents is useless because each country understands each law different and makes it as it would be useful for them not for people. If you guys can help me so help me. I would be thankful.86ti wrote:Read about Directive 2004/38/EC. Supposed to apply to all EEA countries (more or less...)
A good place to start for procedures in Holland is at the following link:yustynne wrote:Hi Rozen, I see you are from Holland so you could advice me sth about the system in your country.

Is it true that the MVV obligation does not apply to family members or relatives of residents of the European Union?
If you are married to or if you are the (registered) partner of a citizens of the European Union you do not need to apply for an MVV. You can travel to the Netherlands together with your partner. This also applies to a number of other family members. For more information, please go to ‘Family member of a citizen of the European Unionâ
The only documents your husband have to submit for a short stay schengen visa which is issued free charge is his passport, photographs, your marriage certificate, your passport. And yes, your husband can apply for the residence card with only a short stay visa from within holland. The cost which is 41 euros.
All the things you mentioned are applicable to non EU nationals who don't have any ties with EU citizens. Since your husband is a family member of an EU citizen, he has the same rights as you.
Hey Mike,Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:yustynne,
As has been pointed out, for the first 90 days you do not need to be working.
You are Lithuanian so you need to choose a country that you can find work and where YOU can easily deal with the transition EU rules. Some countries have no restriction on Lithuanians working, e.g. the UK, and I believe others still have restrictions, e.g. Germany.
Your husband has the right to be with you whereever you are living and working (except Lithuania).
Mike
How about choosing a country that you actually want to be in and then go from there instead of choosing the one which has the laxest immigration rules?yustynne wrote:Hey Mike,Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:yustynne,

Thanks for your remarks! Yeah, you are right and that's what i'm trying now to figure out and to do. I know that some countries like Germany and Austria still require Lithuanians to hold work permits for that it would be hard to realise myself in these countries. Most of other countries i believe have no restrictions on Lithuanians. I won't choose the UK because it has tightened the immigration rules and has high fees for applications. I'm thinking to choose Ireland, Holland or Denmark. What do you think about these countries?
It's called "Application for Verification against Community Law" (Proof of Lawful Residence) to be completed on Form M35E. And it is only 41 Euro!Directive/2004/38/EC wrote: Netherlands may charge you a small fee for the issue of the Residence Card, but it is pretty minimal.
Benifa, we are employed and my husband is Dutch born and bred! But we still have to have health insurance. Otherwise you cannot even register with a GP.benifa wrote:Lots of very useful information there Rozen.
Just one thing:
Not if the EU national is employed or self-employed.Rozen wrote:Please note that you will also need to have health insurance once in NL.
