Hi Grace620,
I don't know how to explain this more stronger, but I will use this example for,
Let say that you are seeking a loan €20,000 from a credit union and they require two things (1) that you must have reasonable income (2) that you must have €5,000 in your credit union account before they grant your loan.
Let say that you have been able to prove your reasonable income by providing your pay slip and maybe cover note from your employer and you also can prove by way of providing your bank statement and showing that you have the said amount in your bank statemen account balance. I can guarantee you that the credit union will not release the loan to you, bacuse, one of the credit union requirements is for you to have that €5,000 deposited in your credit union' account and not in some other bank.
EU3 is a residency giving based on a number of rules that needs to be met. Now circumstances can differ, hence the rules can be amended slightly to suit the circumstance. E.g one of the rules that govern eu3, is that your spouse or partner has to be engaged in an activity within the state for the whole 5 years: employed, studying, social or self sufficient. Now in a case that you divorced after let say 3 years, they will have to consider your spouse activity during the 3 years and your activity for the remaining 2 years.
However, in your case, you were married for the full 5 years period and like I said above, the eu3(permanent residency) will be based on whether your spouse or partner was fulfilling the permanent residency rule or not. Just because you got divorce does not mean that these rules are thrown out of the window.
The key point here is that you are seeking residency based on the past 5 years that you were still together with your other half and your circumstance MUST fulfill the rule on which you are seeking permanent residency for.
