    Hi all,

    I am a British national and my Costa Rican husband has a spouse visa that allows him to work in the UK. He just had an interview for a job in Geneva. The company is very interested, but concerned that he is a Costa Rican citizen. If he is married to an EU citizen (me!), does that mean he can work in any EU country automatically? Or just in the UK?

    We have looked all over the place to try to answer this question, but no one (Swiss embassy, Costa Rican embassy, etc.) can help us. Surely this must happen relatively frequently?

    Thanks.

    It is not that easy. First of all Switzerland is not in the EU, although the relevant laws are probably valid due to a separate contract with Switzerland.

    The second problem is that he can only work in another country if you move there with him. So you can both move, there should not be any problem. But if you goes on his own, he would have to apply for a work related visa, and that could indeed be difficult.
