Marriage in Monaco?

13 years ago

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

For a brief history: I legally fled the increasingly Oppressive/Socialistic US because everything I've ever honestly earned there in my 40+ years is lost due to no fault of mine. I tried to live in South America for 2 years, but a Human Rights advocate finally rescued me and flew me to central EU, where, after one year my Visa is almost expired due to a work-permit neglect/mistake by the local Foreigner Supervisor (clearly not my mistake). Legally, I'm supposed to leave the 'Schengen States' for 180 days, -then return as a 'tourist' again.

I thought of an interesting question: What if I got married in Monaco to either a local there 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.)? Is it possible that Monaco is one of those places (if one was robbed of their assets & future retirement in the US -therefore had to find immediate work to support themselves in a foreign Land)?

*What about other nearby livable Countries?* Any ideas anyone?

Someone twice kindly advised me to consult an Immigration Attorney on such issues, but since the local Foreigner Supervisor [in Germany] never told me I was awarded a one-year work-permit/Visa until 3 months later -much too late -only because of that I've no income yet for such costly 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!
