Well I hope somebody might have done this already as I haven’t found any threads relating to my situation in particular but here goes anyway.

I am about to be employed by a Greek Company in Corfu, they need me as I have certain skills that are currently not available in Greece, or the EU for that matter, but anyway my main advantage over other applicants might/would be that I am also Married to an Italian.

Now I am assuming that this might make my Visa/Permit Process a little smoother but a grey area still exists. I have not lived in Europe to date and hold an Australian Passport still.

What procedures do other Non-EU partners do when offered employment prospects in the European Union?

Is it better to apply for the right to work in Italy first before comming across to Greece or am I just worrying too much about this? Would there be a fairly straightforward process in the end?

Well I hope there are people who might know a little on this subject as any advice would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew
