Hi everybody!
I just found out that my Company could send me to the Paris branch for some 4-6-8 months (you know how these things go, you know the start date and never the end date).
Of course my wife and I are excited but I'd like to hear from you about a few issues:
- I'll probably stay on the US payroll so I'll just be paying US Federal Taxes (and not even NY local taxes since we won't be physically present there). Would I have any liability in France even though my income originates in the US?
- Residency: I just became a US citizen last week and I hold Italian citizenship as well. I understand it won't be a problem for me. Is there anything I should do once in France?
My wife is a US citizen only for now. She applied for Italian citizenship but most likely that won't be granted till next summer, at least.
What should she do. Does she need to apply for a visa or she can obtain one there as spouse of a EU citizen? We would like to keep a low-profile on this because I do not want to have French Govt coming after me for any tax liability.
Lastly, any good suggestion for a neighborhood to live in Paris? My wife and I are a young couple and love the art scene as well as the restaurant scene.
Thanks everybody!
