Hi all,
I'm new here, and just getting my feet wet.
I'm a US citizen & resident. I hold dual citizenship in the EU.
I'm exploring a relocation to the EU, but not to the country I hold dual-citizenship in. It will be a personal, not a business, expat/relo.
I'm just getting started with understanding the rights etc. that a EU Citizen holds across the EU countries.
My first question is pretty basic -- I'd appreciate any knowledgeable answer, or pointer to any relevant documentation & reading materials.
I understand that as a EU citizen I have a right of free movement -- to live & work -- across the EU, and to participate in the healthcare system of the EU.
My question is:
If I were to relocate from the US to any EU country other than that which I hold dual-citizenship in, do I immediately have access to the healthcare system in my new country of residence, as an EU citizen?
Or is there some time that needs to pass, or tax/payment requirement, before I have that access?
As I said, I'm just starting to wrap my head around this, and trying to get a sense of the magnitude of the change.
Thanks for any help!
Richard
