Hey all! I'm new this forum as I recently moved to France, and I'm having somewhat of a brain-breaking problem
. I hope some of you can properly inform me as I'm having trouble finding the exact information I need to know online.
Let me explain my sitatuation:
I come from the Netherlands, and as I said, I recently moved to France to work fulltime. I met my Chinese girlfriend in the Netherlands last year, and as the months passed we became convinced that this was not going to be a short-term relationship.
Unfortunately, she already graduated in the Netherlands by the time I met her and her permit was to expire at the end of November, unless she found a job which paid her ~24000 gross per year. Unfortunately, she did not find one. It could be extended if we registered for a partnership and if I had a fulltime job with at least a year contract. As I was still a student then, I failed to obtain that in time (and I tried, believe me).
So now she has been back in China for 3 months, and I have now found a fulltime job in France. Now I want to attempt to get her here, but I am a bit lost about how to do that
. I have looked into PACS, but as far as I understood both partners have to be already legally residing in France. Also, we did not offically live together.
Of course, the obvious solution for me is to find a job in the Netherlands, but I like it here in France and I'm not willing to give up my job just yet without exploring other options.
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated
