I need answers in english to the following questions, please. My wife is an American citizen, I am Danish. We are moving to Flensburg in late april, and would like to stay there permanently. The questions are:

1. As an EU citizen, I am assured of a residence permit, and so is my wife of 21 years, according to what I have read here. My wife, as an American, has automatically a visa-free stay of 90 days when we arrive, this 90-day limit of stay is lifted as soon as we apply for residency.

2. Can we look for and rent an apartment without a residence permit?

Confirmation in english would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance -

Jørgen

1) It is lifted as soon, as you take avantage of your right to free movement in EU, since your wife then has a residence right already.

2) Yes.
