Working in France How Non-Europeans Can Work Legally By Finn Skovgaard Just as an American from any state is free to live and work in another state, so the citizens of the European Union’s 25 member states can choose to settle in another member state. If you want to live in Europe and you are one of the lucky ones who can obtain an EU nationality because of European ancestors, then go for it, as it will make you able to sidestep the queue of Americans wanting to move to Europe – a queue that appears to be of the same size as Europeans wanting to move to the U.S. Another “easy” way is to marry an EU citizen. Beware, though, that freedom of movement for eight out of the ten new EU member states that joined in 2004 will not be active until 2007 or later, so wait a few years before going to Hungary to search for a husband or wife. Globalization has enabled goods to flow more and more freely, but there is no globalization in sight for the movement of people. Our governments seem determined to keep up the fence between the U.S. and the EU. Getting over the fence means finding out where it is lowest, and you must be patient. Patience is particularly important in France; without it you risk getting a heart attack. Be prepared for everything to move slower--except free
