My wife is a duel citizen of Romania and Australia and wants to work in Spain. Can she?

Question

As her husband, am I able in turn to have the freedom to work in Spain also? How do we go about doing the this, the Romanian embassy has been no assistance at all unfotunately.

Answer 1

1st of all she needs in any case a work permit because since Romania is a new EU member citizens of this country are not allowed to work without permit unti 2011. Even if you are the husband you do not have the freedom to work in Spain. For you the rights of any other foreigner applies.

Answer 2

As a Romanian and because Romania is part of the EU, your wife may seek employment and work in Spain. As her spouse you should have no trouble following her to Spain and obtaining authorization to work there.

I might advise that you contact the embassy of Spain for information rather than the embassy of Romania, since Spain is where you wish to go.
