Hello. I am from New York and carry only American citizenship. My wife carries Italian citizenship. We are interested in moving to Iceland this coming summer after the birth of our firstborn child. Based on how things go, we might stay for a year or possibly for good.
We both have jobs online, graphic design and editing jobs, which support us and can be done easily from anywhere in the world.
I am confused how to go about this move? What types of visa or permits would I need, how would I get it and what types of proofs etc would I need for it?
I called so far the Iceland consulate, visa center and more and still have not gotten a clear answer.
From what I read up online, it seems like best would be for my wife who has a shengen passport to sign up and get a resident permit. Can I join her afterwards with that? Would it be harder for me to get approved because I'm not European or would her status help me?
Any insight in this is greatly appreciated.
