Hello,

This is indeed the right place to ask. :)

Unfortunately your question is a very difficult one to answer directly.

A "sponsor" usually implies a person whom is capable to financially support you. In my particular case, this meant proof of employment, salary, bank account balances, tax receipts, owership of his home, etc.. for my "then" boyfriend. We are now married.

I am from Canada, and therefore not included in the EU list of countries. This made every step very difficult for me.

Receiving a permit entirely depends on the permit you wish to apply for. ie: Family immigration, residence permit, fiancé permit, etc

Do you intend to work?
Do you have education, training, skills?
Where are you from?
Can your BF financially support you?
etc...

I realize UDI can be quite daunting, but contacting them may be your best bet, in order to find answers to your specific questions.

Good luck :)

Apologies, I missed the "family immigration" bit.

Your best chance may be a finace permit,but you will need to become married within 6 months. As this particular permit is only valid for 6 months.

Also, your BF may still need to show proof of his economy and ability to support you.

I am sorry to have to tell you this, but being on disability puts him at an income no doubt below the requirement to sponsor you, and no he doesn't have to own his own home as my hubby rents. I come from the US where it is more difficult to get visa's approved here and my hubby works retail management, so has a much lower income than most. But he has been there for over 12 years, so makes a bit higher wage for experience. I was approved immediately because we made sure all our paper work was in order before submitting application. we were also already married in the US before he brought me here.

But I can assure you that income is top priority and my S-I-L is on disability and couldn't bring her fiancee here because she isn't able to support him on what she receives. Where is it that you live though? If you are in the EU, then you could move here freely provided you can support yourself and intend on working (a job visa is a possibility if you have professional work experience). I feel your pain though.

I can honestly say that hubby and I have discussed this matter because he has a chronic illness himself and has already said there is no way we can afford to live here on what he would get on disability if his doc decides to force his hand someday. So we will be moving back to the US if that happens because what he would get (approx 66% of his pay) would be more than enough to live on in FL, but will put us seriously in the poor house living here. So I advise you 2 to honestly weigh your options and thingk this through thoroughly before deciding to try moving here.

Goodluck though, and if you have any other questions, my hubby knows all the about all the UDI rules and regs thoroughly.
