I am self-employed; I do projects for clients all over the place. My income is probably enough to meet the threshold but it's not consistent and it wasn't in the Netherlands so I don't have any tax documents or anything to show them.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Key is that you will need to be working ("exercising your treaty rights") when you move to another EU country. 6 months should hopefully be enough.
Does this mean we'll face the same income requirement that we are facing now? Because in that case I don't know if it will ever work to go to the Netherlands! My hope was that by going through another country we could avoid this issue. I mean, I will be working, but my income will continue to be variable and without a long-term contract.And then you need to again be working when you move to the Netherlands.
Perfect!chesterfield wrote:The baby is two years old now. Both of our names are on the birth certificate. We've been together for six years and I think it would be easy to prove — we've been at the same address and we split the household bills, so some are her name and others are in mine.
Being self employed it fine. You just need to be working in real and substantial work. But it can be part time. There is no minimum income requirement. You could work at McDonalds part time, for instance. Or be self employed.chesterfield wrote:Does this mean we'll face the same income requirement that we are facing now?

I guess the main reason we weren't going to do Belgium is that it's a little boring if we're then going to be living in the Netherlands. I don't mean to say that Belgium is boring, but it's kind of similar to Holland, and this is one opportunity for us to live somewhere very different, so it would be fun to take advantage of it.Rozen wrote:Why not use the 'Belgian Route'?
Most Nederlandse mensen who want to bring in a foreign partner just cross over for six months, then come back via the EU Route. No 'Income Requirement'.

Lots of info there.
Good luck!
In fact working is only one of several options of "exercising treaty rights". See Chapter 6 of the European Commission's guide on freedom of movement:Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Key is that you will need to be working ("exercising your treaty rights") when you move to another EU country.
I agree that there are more ways of "exercising treaty rights". But the Singh ruling is written in terms of working.mastermind wrote:In fact working is only one of several options of "exercising treaty rights".

Singh ruling wrote:25 The answer to the question referred for a preliminary ruling must therefore be that Article 52 of the Treaty and Directive 73/148, properly construed, require a Member State to grant leave to enter and reside in its territory to the spouse, of whatever nationality, of a national of that State who has gone, with that spouse, to another Member State in order to work there as an employed person as envisaged by Article 48 of the Treaty and returns to establish himself or herself as envisaged by Article 52 of the Treaty in the territory of the State of which he or she is a national. The spouse must enjoy at least the same rights as would be granted to him or her under Community law if his or her spouse entered and resided in the territory of another Member State.
