European citizenship by marrige

/

One Love and one passport When a woman finds her loved one in another harbour, far away from Brazil, she goes through endless proofs of love. Different cultures, a new language, a whole new world to know and many other situations to venture in…but those difficulties are not the only ones, and an international relationship does not survive just of feelings. To begin a new life abroad requires a lot of changes. Starting a marriage with a foreigner in another country requires much deeper changes. And besides all love and emotional feelings evolved, we can not forget about legal subjects surrounding marriage with someone outside Brazil. By now the question is: I am Brazilian and got married to a European. Do I have the right to have citizenship? If you got married to an Italian citizen for at least 3 years or you have kids older than 18 months, you can order your citizenship. It is important that the A.I.R.E. of the Italian citizen is up to date with his/her current address. For Brazilians, dual citizenship must have been granted by at least 1 year. Furthermore, citizenship requested by marriage demands proficiency certificate of the Italian language. Portuguese citizenship by marriage brings an easy criteria for Brazilians: Portuguese language fluency. Other cases will be measured as if the couple has kids or not or how long have you been married. Other aspects will be considered as parents bond or if you have been to Portugal for example. In Switzerland, to order citizenship demands that you have been married for at least 3 years. Besides that, you must have to prove the settlement period living in the country, you must have proficiency in French or German and fulfil other legal criteria. To apply for French citizenship, your marriage must be valid at the moment of your request (some countries allow requests after divorce). It is also necessary to have a proficiency test in French and prove cultural knowledge about the country. It is substantial to know that French citizen must have his/her nationality since the wedding day. However, Polish citizenship is not easy to obtain. Once you are married to a Polish, the Brazilian person can acquire the citizenship since he/she is married for at least 3 years and live for 4 in Poland’s territory – with a temporary visa and permanent residence. Marrying an Irish citizen gives you citizenship as well. For Brazilians to get this passport, he/she must live for 3 years in Ireland, and one whole year right before the citizenship request. If a Brazilian wants Spanish citizenship in a marriage, it is enough if the couple lives for 1 year in Spain and be married for at least the same period of time. That easy path is due to an agreement between Brazil and Spain. In the UK, British citizenship is not linked straight to marriage, but to the period that the foreign partner remains married in the territory. It is necessary to apply for other visas, until he/she gets the full-settlement and becomes eligible to request for naturalization. The main criteria to acquire citizenship by marriage in Germany are naturalization and idiom tests, territory residence and at least 2 years married. Ah! And for sure there are several Brazilian couples in love in the same situation where one of them is a European citizen as well. Nothing changes in this case, so partners’ rights remain the same according to their respective nationality. Just have in mind if the marriage is in-between people of the same gender, rules don’t get modified by the countries previously listed. For Italian citizenship, however, the rule for children is not applied, because adoption by homosexual partners is not allowed. Remember: for ALL citizenships, marriage needs to be registered in the country that will give you the double nationality.

Schools in the UK are free

/

Schools in the UK are free, efficient, organized and therefore accessible to the whole population. Those costs are only for food and uniforms. For this reason, some people choose to put their children in public schools, but there are also options for private schools, called Independents schools. In today’s post, we will explain how the public education system works in England. Check out! Academic Year and Holidays The school year starts at the beginning of September and ends at the end of July. The days may vary according to the school council. Remembering that the teaching schedule is complete beginning in the morning and ending only in the afternoon. The holidays are a little different than in Brazil, for example. There are several breaks during the year, the longest holidays will be between a school year and another, lasting around 1 month and a half. Divided periods are called terms. Each term has a 1-week break during the period and between one and the other is 2-weeks. Nursery Nurseries are equivalent to daycare centers in another countries and children from 3 years old are empowered to 15 hours a week free of charge. If you choose to put before that age you will probably have to shell out a figure. Reception At age 4 the child starts in the class called Reception, which is not part of the necessary curriculum but many primary schools already offer. Only after the age of 5 does schooling become required and the child must be registered in a school. Primary School Primary schools correspond to elementary education and run from year 1 to year 6, meaning the ages of 5 to 11 years. Primary education is split into: Key Stage 1 – years 1 and 2 Key Stage 2 – year 3 through year 6 Secondary School Secondary schools are equivalent to elementary education II and high school and it runs from year 7 to year 11. At this stage, it is likely that the child will have to change schools. There are also schools called Grammar schools, these are secondary public schools considered to be differentiated and consequently popular. During the year 6 students can take a test to be called to study in these schools depending on the score reached. The secondary education comprises the ages of 11 to 16 years and is divided into: Key Stage 3 – years 7 to 9 Key Stage 4 – 10 and 11 years It is also during this period that students take the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exam that is important for university education and the professional future, as some job openings require it. Sixth Form Some secondary schools do not have Sixth Form which is the last years year 12 and year 13 attended between the ages of 16 and 18 as they are not required. At this age, the teenager can decide to work. The Sixth Form is divided into year 12 also called Lower Sixth and year 13 calling Upper Sixth. This point can be considered preparatory to the university teaching and a direction for the student for the future career. If you have recently moved to UK and still do not know how to register your children in the schools, it is quite simple, just go to the council of your area and they will guide you the best option based on your address and available positions.

Permanent residence and Registration Certificate in the UK

/

Brazilians with dual European citizenship enjoy the privileges as any other citizen of the countries that are part of the European Union. However, many who have a European passport are in doubt as to the type of application they must make to officiate their residence in the United Kingdom. To date, the British Government does not require European citizens to apply for residency in the country to prove their right to live and work in the United Kingdom. However, with Brexit, those who already have their situation regulated will certainly avoid future problems. Among those who will apply, it is very common to confusion between permanent residence and Registration Certificate.  So stay tuned and take your questions. Registration Certificate Everyone who has citizenship from any country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland can obtain the Registration Certificate, which can be used as a proof of the right to live in the UK.  The certificate can be very useful in some circumstances to prove your immigrant status.  To apply it is necessary to prove that the applicant is working as an employee or autonomous, studying or that he is financially self-sufficient to pay his bills in the country without a request for benefits. As there are larger requires for students and people economically self-sufficient. Permanent Residence Permanent residence in the United Kingdom is also applicable to all European citizens living in the country. However, it is necessary that they have lived for at least five years continuously in England and that they have qualified within the hypotheticals above. After that period, everyone is entitled to permanent residence. It is necessary to prove the period of stay over the years through contracts of employment, rent, etc. The whole process lasts on average up to 6 months, but the Home Office usually gives priority to these cases. LondonHelp4U is an expert on applications for permanent residency and Registration Certificate in the UK. Our consultants provide the necessary assistance throughout the process, from the selection of the documents to the delivery of the certificates.
