5. When i´ll have my own business, can my girlfriend help me with it, when she´ll don´t have a work permit? /we aren´t married/
6. Can we´ll apply for permanent residene untill 12 months?
7. It´s necessary to have a work permit before i apply for a permanent residence? I read on forum that first 6 months of residence is everything allright but after in Imigration Department they want to see a work permit.
