Hi All
Wasn't sure where to post this question really but as it relates to moving out I thought here would be OK especially as Trehane has had such good advice. Let me now if you think I should post it elsewhere.
As you know I am moving out on August 17th. I am going to (have to) do some freelance work and a couple of uk contacts, including my current employer, have indicated they may have some remote work for me to do. However, i won't really know if this will work or how quickly. My other alternative is to return to the UK as and when to do short term contracts.
If I do the remote working thing in France then I will register as an AE. I am keen to do this before September as I know there are rule changes coming up. If I do this then I will be with RSI and can cover OH as an "ayant droit".
At the moment we have a workers s1 which gives OH a carte vitale through CPAM. It has been a struggle to get the CV. The workers S1 expires 1 December and his current CV expires 19 September. It took us 6 months to get the CV sorted. Of course, this set up is of no use to me. I am still in the NHS with EHIC card and travel insurance, but that set up is no use after August 17th.
I could get a normal S1 which would cover both of us for up to 2 years and I wondering if I should do this anyway or whether I should just go straight in for the AE/RSI as CPAM are bound to want to start everything again....... fortunately I think we have got just about every conceivable document translated (except the pet passport!).
I am also not sure what happens if I ask Newcastle for an S1 and then come back to the UK to work. Has anyone else experienced this, it must be quite common?
