Hi Everyone,
My wife and I are currently in limbo waiting for our Australia Permanent Residency, however, we may end up in a situation where we won't get the visa until 2012, if at all. We have decided to look at backup plans, or at least a plan for something to do for the next 2 years while we wait. We came up with 2 ideas:
I would like to know how difficult that would be. I was born in UK and hold UK and USA passport. Have been a US citizen for 3 years now. My wife was born in Hong Kong, but is currently a US citizen. She used to have a BNO passport, but this expired.
As far as I understand, Citizens of European union members are free to move around Europe, is that correct? If we do make the move, then I will continue to work for my US based company, but remotely. (I am a computer programmer) Neither my wife or I will be seeking employment.
I just wanted to know where we stand with regards to this? Is it a viable option, and where do I start?
Thanks
Mat

- move to South of France
- Move to Spain
