Hi toryroo,

Does it change my rights regarding PUMA too? as i was refused based on being a ‘single’ eu applicant, but if i get married i do assume it changes my rights regarding that too?

Thanks!

I would imagine your side will be, but easier with a French speaking partner to help jump the hurdles, you will need an up to date birth certificate, (yes, I know) translated professionally for certain. We had to get blood tests ( for procreation purposes) even though we were in our mid 50s. Perhaps look into getting wed in UK?

Good luck

Your fiancé needs to contact the Mairie in his village to see if the Marriage is possible there… (if I recall correctly, one person had to move back to her/our commune for a few weeks to be eligible to marry here.. might apply to your fiancé)

The Mairie will know what documents you will need to provide. Some of yours will possibly/probably need to be translated. That can take time, so make contact with the Mairie sooner rather than later.

(I’ve helped with 4 Brit weddings in our commune) I wouldn’t call it tortuous, you just need to follow the list of official requirements step by step.

good luck.

Edit: I’m enjoying thinking back and already realised I’d forgotten one super wedding. it might have been more than 4 ..

:rofl: it’s never too late… :wink:

I’m sorry, your situation is tricky.
Perhaps you could do a registry office marriage in the UK (if indeed it turns out to be easier) and a celebratory or religious ceremony here? They are often featured on tv shows, but they never explain the bureaucracy involved.

I’ll just say “vasectomy”…..

Made no difference, French rules rules OK.

Your residency rights are already established as an EU citizen residing with PHI and with adequate financial resources. You have the right to work now. If you decided not to work now you would be eligible for healthcare through CPAM. There is a different pot of money to cover healthcare for workers so I suppose that’s why CPAM turned you down. There is also a way to get healthcare as an autoentrepreneur.

That’s certainly how it was explained to me… “it’s the Law and rules are rules” and no, we can’t change even one word of the ceremony…

There is the official list of documents, the official marriage script and setting for the ceremony… and how it all plays out is set in stone… a marvellous time, enjoyed by everyone present.

Only if she can prove that she is adequately financially supported by her partner.

Hi All,

Thanks for all your advice and comments.

When me and my fiancé are married, can i then reapply for PUMA, if anyone knows? I read online they will just reopen the case when they are aware i am married but i’m unsure.

I don’t think you’ve told us which EU country you have citienship of. Are there websites or Facebook pages for people of that nationality living in France? Not that we don’t want to help.

If you are married to a french person everything changes! You might be asked for proof that you have been together a while, like joint bank account or rental agreements, but should be fine.

Everything changes but not necessarily for the better, perhaps? This really should be thought through.

This isn’t really an issue for any particular EU nationality- they all have the same rights. She needs help from EU jobseekers in France- how they navigated the healthcare aspects of that.

We have been together for 2.5 years, more or less, and engaged for a year and 2 months. i am not on the rental agreement as when my fiancé started renting our accommodation, i did not have a bank account here. Now i do, i can be added to it. We can also get a joint account easily.

We have been engaged for a year and a bit now, so we have thought about marriage. We are planning to get married anyway, but since this issue has popped up, I’m wondering if it will help a bit

Hi Jennifer,

I just looked on facebook and could only find french in malta! typical.. haha

42

I found a Facebook page but the thread about staying in France wasn’t very strong, then a couple of websites that were for citizens of any EU country.

Getting married by itself isn’t going to hurt. But you are now resident here as an EU citizen in your own right. Would you simply ignore that and be resident as spouse of a French? And what does that entail? Needs consideration.
