marenmatt1 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Earlier this year my husband and I had planned on moving to the UK unfortunately due to personal reasons we had to push our move date back. Then brexit happened. Unfortunately as a dual aus & eu citizen I had been planning on getting in that way now that doesn't really seem possible. Anyone who has gone down the spouse visa route was it easy/ hard? Am reading lots of different requirements needed & unsure whether we can provide all that. I am also sadly one generation off getting the ancestry visa too. Also does anyone know of any qualified people who help with spouse visas in Brisbane as am having no luck with searches so far. Thank you in advance for any help :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolman Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm just a little confused as to why Brexit should make a difference ? Any changes will take at least 2 years from March so it depends on your intended move date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Agree with the above, the UK is still a member of the EU and is likely to be for some time to come. If you were to move back prior to then, then it would not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marenmatt1 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Unfortunately am reading differing stories on this with some saying I'll be asked to leave as soon as article 50 is announced due to arriving so recent. Also if it is 2 years then it still puts me in a predicament as I'll have to apply for a visa then or leave. If it was just my husband & I are not such a huge problem but we are shipping our stuff & pet with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolman Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm not sure who would have given you such ridiculous advice ? Article 50 just signifies the start of a long process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we are members of the EU and will remain so until the end of exit negotiations. Article 50 trigger does not mean we leave the EU it is simply the point at which the UK government gives formal intent that the UK intends to leave and the point at which negotiations can commence. While it is true the UK government have not stated people from the EU can stay, it seems very unlikely that they would be asked to leave - if not impossible as some areas are now largely eastern European. For example, I lived near Slough until recently and most of the advertising, shop front and things are all in Polish. Even if it looked like that might occur, you could then submit a spouse visa.

Marisawright Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Ridiculous to worry. Move now while it's easy and legal. If they change the rules in 2 years, it won't be instant deportation! You can apply for spouse visa then and it will be easier once you're there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
