Since you are Australian, immigration isn't going to insist your travel with your partner since you can visit on your own merit.ozbrit wrote:Yeah I am thinking that too... I just wish I could find out definately.
I would also like to know, do I need to arrive with my partner or can I meet him at the airport? What if I couldn't meet him at the airport? I know I need to have my marriage certificate on me when I arrive.
Any help is greatly appreciated
No, ozbrit can also work in France if she is the partner with whom a UK national is in a durable relationship, duly attested, and who is also resident in France in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC.republique wrote:You can work in France if you have a work permit or you are married to your BF and he is resident in france.
I don't. My French is useless, but I think France's implementation of Directive 2004/38/EC is here.John wrote:Do we know how France is interpreting this expression?a durable relationship, duly attested
That is considered as PACS and she will have to look up the rules.benifa wrote:No, ozbrit can also work in France if she is the partner with whom a UK national is in a durable relationship, duly attested, and who is also resident in France in accordance with Directive 2004/38/EC.republique wrote:You can work in France if you have a work permit or you are married to your BF and he is resident in france.
Work permit not required.
No that is ridiculous.ozbrit wrote:ok, I've just been to see a woman at the French consulate and she told me that I need a visa first if I want to stay longer than three months. She said if I want to become a resident while I am over there without a visa I will have to come back to Australia to apply (which would be soooo bloody expensive). She also said I would need tickets back home. Please help me. We are getting married this Saturday and we just want to get back to France. I would like to have time to put SOME input into my wedding day without having to worry about this visa stuff.
The problem with EEA route is there are so many pitfalls and barriers due to intepretations and misguidance and langauge you can't really plan anything, just apply and wait and address all the issues as they come.ozbrit wrote:My unmarried partner visa has expired and I have just been refused another one... meaning I am no longer a resident in the UK. I have found out I can work for the UK company as long as I am not IN the UK.
But in order to do that I must be able to be in France.
I am not making this up, I am trying to get to France as quick as possible, whilst sorting out my appeal for my UK visa and trying to organise a wedding in a week.
I am sorry if some of my words aren't making sense... This is a very stressful situation and the more time it takes the more money it is costing us.
Just incredible. Why do people only give you half the story? You didn't think it was important to mention that you don't have a visa, most info is predicated on that you are legal. That was why I thought you were making stuff up as you go along. However it is the other way out. You are just leaving stuff out and making it harder. I'm out.

How do you feel you were working illegally when in France?ozbrit wrote:I don't want to bring it to their attention about my visa. They might not take me back, as I didn't realise we have been working illegally last year and the year before.
*edit - In France that is
I have been looking at so many sites, and this is the site that the woman at the consulate brought up to say that I DID neede a visa. How can SHE not know this? I don't understand all the stuff contradicting each other on all the different site, but I will just have to go by this one.The foreign spouse (and children under 21 years old) of a non French citizen of the European Union does not require to apply for a visa to settle in France with her husband/his wife in order to obtain a residency card (carte de séjour).
