Hello, I'm German/Venezuelan (42 years), married with a British woman (London born, with a new British Passport), and with two children under 16, also Germans. We've been living in Venezuela, without previous residence in the UK or any EU country. (Main family lenguage: spanish).
We've been reading every single text from ukcosa.com, ukvisa.com, and others, but still have some dudes related to how arrive to the UK and live and work there for more than 6 months (move to UK).
Some text says EU Nationals do not require visa, but other suggest to apply for an “Entry Clearance”, and some of them suggest a “Family Permit”; and for “Returning Residents” (less than 2 years abroad) there is no problem, but this is not our case.
We've some funds to live without any social help for about 12 months, and both of us are good skilled workers (She's a Dentist and I am a Med. Doctor with a Health Management diploma). I've been searching for job opportunities (Jobcentre) and there is a good chance for both of us (NHS Dentist Service is changing and recruiting from abroad). My wife is improving her English and must get an IELTS band 7 (Academic) level, before register with General Dental Council and perform a Vocational Training, even as a Dental Nurse o Hygienist.
What exactly should we apply for: entry clearance…?
Is that true that a British Citizen without previous residence may not be able to access Social Security at once?
Thank you.

 

Hi Daphne, thanks a lot. I believe your right. But, you know, UK is the country with more info avaible using internet, sometimes we got confused. It's good to know another opinion. Thanks again. Willi.
