claire1976 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 He will need a work permit anyway if your partner is going to employ him: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/bulgariaromania/Employingabulgarianroman0408 Employers should be aware that Bulgarian and Romanians are not treated in the same way as other European Union (EU) citizens, and have less rights to work here that non-EU citizens such as the Swiss. Many Bulgarian and Romanian job hunters who travel to the UK are completely unaware that restrictions are in place. The newest EU members understandably assume that because they belong to the European Union they can move and work freely in any member state. This is not the case. Employers can now be fined up to £10,000 for each illegal worker employed. Possession of a National Insurance number is not a statutory defence for an employer who thinks this gives the holder the right to work in the UK.

spindrift Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Benefit fraud can be a problem: The government says benefit fraud by people living abroad costs UK taxpayers £63m a year - and is extending a hotline scheme to report them. Every year thousands of visitors come to enjoy the sparkling coastline and bright sunshine. Many of the people who live here are British pensioners who have decided to retire abroad. The streets are lined with English bars and restaurants and it is easy to pick out the expats sitting in the afternoon sun enjoying a beer. But this is also where the benefit cheats hide. We came to the Costa del Sol to investigate claims that some of those British expats are claiming UK benefits to which they are not entitled. They're leeches on both societies Michel Euesden, Euro Weekly News One man near Marbella said he had lived in Spain for years and had found it easy to fund his lifestyle with illegal handouts. He explained how he got help after answering an advert in a newspaper that offered to help people fill in claim forms. "The clue of getting benefits was to fill in the forms properly, to know what to put down. And he had a business where he filled the forms in for you. He got you not only your benefits but back pay as well." Expats are allowed to claim some UK benefits like pensions and heating allowance. But in Benalmadena some business owners and residents say many people make false claims too. The majority of the people said they knew of someone who cheated the system. Dancing claimants Steven Philips runs a sports bar. He said: "I know people who own houses - council houses - and rent them out." In another bar down the road Gary Marsh says: "There's people I know who claim disability allowance who certainly go into the local offices in wheelchairs, who you see down here dancing in the winter months." The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) claims that so-called "abroad fraud" costs the UK taxpayer £63m a year. Officials do not know how many people are making illegal claims or where they all live, but they believe the majority are in Spain. Martin Fitches from the DWP told us "There are one million people here and the vast majority are law-abiding - so we're working with them to catch the people who are stealing British taxpayers' money."

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Luckily because he is from Bulgaria, and Bulgaria is in the EU, he doesn't have to work for a year. If he plays his cards right, he might not have to work ever on a side note the only bulgarian i know is uncle bulgaria He was our family doctor when I was a lad ... wonderful bloke.

Shy talk Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 It's a reciprocal arrangement, not a one-sided one. Why should/would Brits go to Poland to work? if there is work in Poland, why arn't the Poles doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Why would the Poles come to Britain to work? If there's work in Britain why aren't the British doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
