Hi all,
Just wondering if you could help me answer the following questions.
I am Australian and my fiancé is French. We are currently doing a long-distance relationship but I will be moving to France in January 2018 to be with him. I am pregnant and this has changed some of our plans. The plan right now is for me to still move to France and have the baby there. Unfortunately, my fiancé can't move to Australia because he has to finish his last year of uni and has to work for the French Government for the next 8 years. He is locked in a contract with them because they paid for his uni fees and living expenses.
Here are my questions:
1) if we get married, will I benefit from the French Healthcare system immediately?
My fiancé spoke to someone and was told if i don't work in the first 3 months I will not be able to benefit from the healthcare system immediately and will have to wait after the 3 months. However, if I do work (even if it is only for a day) i will be entitled to the healthcare benefits.
Is this weird or what???? I thought being married, i will be able to access the healthcare system right away and so I could have the baby in France.
Apparently the law changed since 2016???
2) If we marry in Australia, how long does it take to get my livret de famille? (a rough time frame is possible)
3) If i do decide to have the baby in Australia, and then move to France a month later. Will it be easy for my child to be a French citizen and have the French passport?
Thanks in advance!
