Marriage in Ukraine?

13 years ago

Hello everyone, I (sincerely) appreciated the past great responses to my 'a US citizen, but without a Country' situation.

I thought of an interesting question: What if I got married in Ukraine to either a Ukrainian or someone from a nearby EU Country -but if after my Schengen Visa expires? Does anyone know if that also somehow qualifies me for permanent residency [anywhere] (after-the-fact)?

Also, if I ever had to legally leave the 'Schengen States' for 180 days, I'd be curious where people are most easily traveling to, to spend that 180 days (and to somehow support themselves during that time with any kind of available {legal?} work {ie: teaching english, cleaning, grocery-store work, lower-pay factory work, etc.)?

*What about other nearby livable Countries?*

Someone kindly advised me to consult an Immigration Attorney on such issues, but since our local Foreigner Supervisor here never told me until it was much too late that I had my critical work-permit -only because of that I'm still not working yet -so no income yet for such professional advice.

In the distant past I read some really good advice from regular people like us here on similar subjects and so I hope to hear more.

Thanks everyone!
