    Hello, hope you can help me. I am a UK citizen. My wife is brazilian, we have been living and working in the UK for the last couple of years. My wife is still on a married visa and applied 6 months ago for permanant visa for UK. The Home Office have indicated that this would not be looked at until December at the earliest!!! (Some service).
    Unfortunately, we cannot wait that long and intend in the next month to move to Spain and work as English teachers. So she will recall her passport and have just the (expired) married visa. We do not intend to return to the UK.
    MY QUESTION IS, will she have the same work rights/right of abode as myself?
    We are applying online for numerous positions through an excellent website for TEFL jobs (TEFL.com) but they state 'EU preferred' which effectively rules her out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    David

    Hi,
    I am not sure what you would have to do exactly in terms of legalizing your wife's stay in Spain ... But I have run across a website that seems to say explicitly that Non-EU spouses have the same rights as EU spouses in terms of residency and work. It is in Spanish, however:

    http://asesores.com/extranjeros/comunit ... hengen.htm

    I hope this helps!

    'Los ciudadanos de la Unión Europea tienen, a todos los efectos, los mismos derechos y deberes que la Constitución Española otorga a los españoles.

    Para que un ciudadano comunitario se dé de alta en seguridad social, ni siquiera necesita el permiso de residencia comunitario. Puede hacerlo con su pasaporte comunitario, empezar a trabajar, y luego, con tranquilidad, obtener el permiso de residencia comunitario, para posteriormente comunicar a la seguridad social y a hacienda, su número de NIE, (número de identificación de extranjero).

    Pero hay que tener en cuenta que en España, para realizar cualquier acto con trascendencia tributaria, los extranjeros tienen que tener asignado su correspondiente número de identificación fiscal, o número de identificación de extranjero (el NIE). Así que si un comunitario viene a España, puede hacer lo que quiera, pero al realizar cualquier transacción con trascendencia tributaria (como cobrar un sueldo), tiene que sacarse el NIE obligatoriamente.

    Asimismo, si un extranjero está casado con un comunitario, tiene en ese momento, los mismos derechos que un comunitario. Es lo mismo casarse con un español, que con un comunitario.'

    David,

    >you asked: MY QUESTION IS, will she have the same work rights/right of abode as myself??

    Answer is yes: ONLY IF she has successfully applied for her residencia Communitario, which is the same residencia card as you.

    In order for her to get it, there are requirements and paperwork she has to go through. Check with Gestoria, and forum in this section.

    There has been some discussions here.
