The article addresses EU work permits quite well, but fails to mention anything about the UK, which runs a very different work permit system to the rest of Europe! Many feel that getting a work permit for the UK is in many ways easier than for the majority of European countries, although the process is probably no less bureaucratic or confusing. Some good information about getting a UK work permit: http://www.ukvisahelp.co.uk

Applying for a freelance work permit…? Hmm. How does that work? I haven’t run across any info on that yet, and I’d like to live and work in France (but I’m not looking for a full-time regular job, I’m an actress….)

Thanks for the article! I was one of those people who skipped the mountain of paperwork when I lived in the Netherlands. Thankfully, I never ran into any issues when I worked over there since I was paid under the table and I made sure to leave the country at least every three months. (I did try to get a legal permit, but was thwarted.) Anyways, good advice and I agree that in the long run having the patience to apply for a permit is worth it!

I made the mistake of trying to get a work permit while already in the UK. I was eventually successful, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It is beyond frustrating. You can’t afford a place to live until you work, and you can’t work until you get a visa, and you can’t get a visa until the paper pushers sympathize a little with you, which they never do. It all comes down to luck – mine was in the form of an immigration officer who didn’t quite know what she was doing, and I got 14 months of adventure for it. Play your cards right and have patience and sometimes things do work out – as long as you’re ready to sacrifice for it.

Hello, I am married to a Latvian National and currently live in Latvia (EU zone/schengen zone) and we want to go live in Spain. I am here on a 3 month short stay (don’t need a entry visa for Europe)and it is up in a month. I know how to get a residency/work permit but my wife has to be in Spain with me in order to do so but she cannot travel right now because we just had a baby!!!! Can I still go to Spain on my own and be granted residency/work permit while I wait for my wife to join me in 3-4 months????

Greatly appreciate all of your help!!!!!

Is it really as simple as having a parent or grandparent born there? I am going to Italy in a month and am entertaining thoughts of staying there.

Background info:

My mother was born in Italy while my grandfather was attending medical school in said country. However, she declined becoming a dual-citizen a long time ago because apparently there was some sort of financial/tax obligation that came with being a dual-citizen. Also, her understanding of it was that once dual-citizenship was declined, you could never reapply.

So, in short, my mother is a US citizen who was born in Italy. She does not have dual-citizenship. Do I have a chance applying for dual-citizenship?

not too sure if getting married works anymore you will be able to stay in the country but dont think you will get a work premit,if you have a grand parent or parent who was born in a eu country you should hace a better chance good luck

Hi hi,

thanks for the great article. My boyfriend is an EU citizen, (I’m not) and so he
has no problem getting a work permit allowing him to work in switzerland. I understand that one solution for us is that we get married and then i’ll get a permit through him…. but i was wondering if having us announced as “known in public” will do the job. anyone know?
