yes we are all now living officially in the Netherlands. I started my own business basically to exercise my treaty rights to move to the UK with my family (s.singh).Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:So you are living and working in the Netherlands and now your family member wants to come with you back to the UK? Are you planning to just visit the UK and then return to the Netherlands or are you planning to move to the Netherlands?
Do you have to register with the NL government as or to be a self employed person? Have you done that?gb wrote:do you think my 1st invoice and proof of payment will be acceptable to be given a FP?
no spouse would not need a visa but getting our one dependant in before he turns 21 is a good thing I suppose.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Does your non-EU spouse require a visa to enter the UK?
I would tend to wait to apply for the EEA FP until you decide to move back to the UK or want to visit. One billed client is good, but I would think it is better to have more and more revenue. Self-employed is a little less clear to prove. Employed is easier: if you were working for McDonalds in Leiden you get an official payslip.
Of course I am also biased. I have deeply enjoyed living outside the UK, and would love to live in the Netherlands if there was a good opportunity.
Plus, a paying job in the Netherlands is worth two possible jobs in the UK. Or something like that...
yep, all done- KvK and bank account sorted for biz.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Do you have to register with the NL government as or to be a self employed person? Have you done that?gb wrote:do you think my 1st invoice and proof of payment will be acceptable to be given a FP?
So if spouse and child do not need a visa to travel to the UK for visits, then I would personally not bother applying for an EEA FP until you want to move back to the UK.gb wrote:no spouse would not need a visa but getting our one dependant in before he turns 21 is a good thing I suppose.
yes I hear you on the netherlands but being english speaking is very limiting job wise. Also health is quite expensive at eu100pp. Food is going to cut 5 years off my life for sure.
What do you think are the pro's of living it out here?

How old is your wife's "little boy"? Studying or working?
I think everyone will find different things that are "pros" for living in a different member state. Experiencing a taste of a different way of life for a while is probably a good thing. And nice bicycling is good. And nice skating during cold winters. And beautiful houses and towns. And wonderful beer. And cute women. And everything will feel very different when you return to the UK. And it is a good chance to learn Dutch!
The damage gets done by DUO- you cannot imagine the bulls@#t that comes out of their offices. Even after consulting behind the scenes with wiser heads the answer that comes back is unbelievably crooked.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:The children should all be able to attend university on the same basis as you (as an EU citizen) would be able to do.
Was the child admitted already?
If you have any trouble with this, there are people who can help, and you can sue the university as well!

If you are planning to MOVE to the UK, then an EEA FP definitely makes sense. But they will have no problems getting a RC with it or without it. But the FP does make easy early proof of their right to work ...
DUO is the government 'Department of Education'Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:I urge you to contact Solvit: http://eumovement.wordpress.com/help-eu-solvit/
They are not usually fast, but sometimes they can be helpful.
