Hi there, I am a UK citizen, living in England, and my wife is a Filipino citizen, who is not. We married last year, but efforts to match the salary requirements to bring her here have stalled for the time being. This has lead me to considering moving to another EU country in an effort to be with her. I am aware of the 'Surinder Singh' rule, however I cannot find too much information about how my wife would go about joining me in another EU country.

We have talked about preferred countries to move to, but I would like to know if anyone here could be of help with details about this. I would not move country without attaining a job first. Moving back to England is also not necessarily integral to our plans. If I enjoyed wherever I wind up, I have no problem staying there, so if anyone can tell me about what it is like to live in their country, I am all ears!

My main question; Are immigration laws in regards to my non EU wife the same all over the EU, or do each individual countries have their own rules?

Thanks for reading
