Hi everyone,
In some cases people mention marriage as a way to obtain residency or citizenship in a European country. How does this usually work in practice? Does marriage automatically grant residency rights or is it a longer legal process? How quickly can it affect someone’s immigration status? Are there specific requirements or checks that usually apply?
