Hello,
I am searching the information about 1) visa for non EU spouse of EU citizen and 2) carte de sejour after my entry to France.
I am Japanese citizen who is living Germany carrying 2 years resident (also working) permit, my husband is Italian who is based in UK now.
He will start to work in France from July.
I am planning to joint to him from August after I finish my job here in July.
1, VISA : I understood that Visa, itself is as permission to enter to France,
As far as I am Japanese citizen, I basically do not need to apply a visa before I travel.
And additionally my condition is that I already have a resident permit of a Shengen country (Germany).
Therefore I can directly to relocate to France from Germany.
HOWEVER, if i want to work in France, do I need to apply a visa before I travel, and which visa do I need to apply? (Shengen visa? well, it does not seem make big difference from my German residence card, because it is actually for all Shengen country (only working in DE, tho) )
My understanding, non EU spouse of EU citizen will be given same right as spouse of French citizen is given, such as free right to work, duty to learn French, lecture of French history, etc.
2, Carte de sejour : related to question no.1,
My understanding is that I have to apply it after I enter France, but before 2-3months passing.
Ive also read that this carte de sejour 'condition' is different for each people,
most of spouse of French has 1 year, and after 3years, they will have 10years. (all the time with work permit)
And there is another case, spouse of Dutch national got 5years carte de sejour but without working permit.....
I cannot really speak French now, But I would like to find a chance to take this free lesson of French course and take an opportunity to find a job in near future.
If someone can share your experience and finds, it will be big help !
Thank you in advance.
