Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

So, let me get this straight. I am, for all intents and purposes self employed. I work for a company in Germany teaching English online as an independent contractor.

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

I would love to know what company it was, if you wouldn't mind. Even though I read the small print and the insurance would have covered me had I been able to get the forms filled out, I didn't...

While I am accustomed to "treatment now, bill later", I know it's not that way everywhere in the world. I came prepared with insurance with medical emergency evacuation coverage, only to be unable to...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

The article says "at least five years", and the family indicates they are highly aware money is short. This shows a willingness to do whatever they have to in order to meet reasonable thresholds. ...

Wink Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!

IMHO, the laws/rules are VERY straight forward, albeit excessively restrictive and lacking common sense in many cases - as is often the case with laws, legal precedent and the legal profession in...

Re: British citizen living abroad? Non-EEA spouse? This may affect you!
