Hello,

I got married last year when I was on ILR. My wife hence got dependent on ILR visa in May 2012 for a duration of 27 months. Now I became a British citizen, can my wife apply for resident card or does she require any visa if I choose to move out from UK to any European country for work.

Thanks.

Spouses of British nationals benefit from dir 2004/38/ec. If a visa national, then a visa would be required. A residence card would manly be required if you move to another eu country.

Given my situation above, is there any visa/provision which entitles my Non-EU wife to move to any EU country with me freely (i.e. without applying visa for that specific country).

If a visa national, a visa will be expected. If one arrives at a border without one and can demonstrate entitlement, one would be admitted without a visa. The problem would be getting to a border to argue one's case.

As a British citizen, you wife is entitled to accompany you to any other EU member state.

She may be required to have a visa, but should be easy to obtain.

Can you be more specific about where you want to go?

Thanks for your answers.

It can be Denmark or Belgium.

Both embassies provide information on how to apply for a visa. This should be free and issued on a priority basis.

Thanks for all your help.

Now it's decided that I am moving to Denmark. Which visa should my wife apply as she is an Indian citizen and a spouse of a British citizen(me). I am moving to work there for 3-6 months.

A short term entry visa. This will be pretty much a regular schengen visa. It will be free and issued on a priority basis.
