Will I get a PR and work permit by marrying my Polish gf?

Post by guillermix » Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:15 am

Hi, I'm Chilean, my girlfriend is Polish-Canadian (has both citizenships). We would like to get married in Canada and live there. However it is possible that I don't get the papers. In case that happened, I would like to know which are our possibilities of establishing ourselves in the EU. We are thinking in Spain as a second option.

Would I be able to work there? (this is the most important thing for me)
Would she be able to work there?
What kind of paperwork would need to be done?
What rights do I get by getting married with a EU citizen?

Thank you very much for your help!!! This is very important for us.

Guillemix :wink:

If you chose the EU other than Poland, you would be able to live there with your family member, provided your family member is a worker, student or self-sufficient person. You could work.

Thank you.

Well, she is self sufficient, but since she lives in Canada she doesn't work at this time in Poland or the EU. We would arrive at the same time over there to make our lives. How does that work in that case?

Thank you

1. Choose an EU country.
2. Move their together (or non-EU joins later).
3. EU citizen, apply for residence certificate (requires to be a worker, student, self-sufficient). Do so within three months.
4. Non-EU citizen, apply for residence card (requires passport, residence certificate above and proof that Eu and Non-EU are related).

No, being Chilean, you would not be a visa national. If you were, you may have had to apply for a visa first.

You would apply for residence certificate and residence card in the EU country.

Where do you each live? How long have you been involved?
