Hi

After being married for 3 years with a eu being a non eu, is it possible to keep the residence after divorce if so what are the conditions? Need to have a full time job? Also after divorce can still apply for permanent resident after 5 years under eu rule?

Your EU-spouse must remain in the same counrty as you, AND you must be able to support yourself without any public welfare, that is: either your spouse is sentenced to pay you alimony (not so likely after only three years), or you support yourself.

There is no rule that you have to be full time employed, just that you not apply to the municipality for help given according to ‘Aktivloven’. Rent support is OK, as that is a different law alltogether.

thanks for the reply.

can one still apply for permanent residence under eu rules after divorce? or national rules apply.

After 5 years you simply apply under EU law.

what sort of stuff they can ask to prove you can support urself? having a job? also is it ok to take akasse as i am paying every month insurance and in the event of loosing job

They will probably ask for copies of your tax statements for every year. A-kasse is no problem.

What happens if you are a recent graduate

You need income or money in the bank no matter if you work or study.

If you are on akasse for money is that OK without a lot of money in bank?

I already wrote a-Kasse is no problem. A-kasse is income from an insurance scheme.

Yes but can this akasse be your source of income I.e support your self until you get job

Yes, why shouldn't it? It's income just like if you get a study grant, a pension, get a salary or win the lottery.

You simply need to show that you have enough money to survive and have been able to in the past 5 years. So income from criminal activity is the only income you can't make.

Hi

Is the three years count the day you applied for divorce but still didn’t get? So if you apply for divorce in marriage of 2years and 10 months and got it after 3 years of marriage still it counts as 3 years or no?

You are legally married, until the date your divorce is granted.

Even if you get a separation, it will still count as being married - you cannot marry someone else during the separation period. And as you do not need to live together if you have residence according to EU-rules, a separation will not affect your residence right.

(During a separation each spouse is free to 'see other people' i.e. you cannot be guilty of cheating on a separated spouse. Inheritance rights cease on the date of the separation).

Hi
It says the 3 year marriage time before legal proceedings begin. Is that mean when you issue separation notice or is that mean when they start the divorce proceedings after the required 6 month separation
