Greetings all,

I am a South African, married to a British citizen, living and working in the UK on an Ancestry Visa.

Now my wife wants to move to Italy (she is the British Citizen) and I would like to know how I can go about getting to live and work there as well ?

Does the fact that I am married to a British Citizen hold any sway ?

Will I be able to get a work permit ( albeit temporary ) ?


So many questions......lol

Any help will be appreciated..

Mark

You have basic right under EU rules to accompany your wife to Italy and live and work there. The paperwork involved probably requires a Schengen visa (as you are a visa national, but should be issued speedily and free) and applying for residence card in Italy. Post on Italy forum and look for exact requirements on Italian embassy in UK site.
