> This is indeed a very common scenario. Danish people move to Sweden for a period of time, just to be able to get a residence permit for their foreign spouse. My wife is well educated, but due to her Russian nationality, getting her to the country legally will require a 6 months detour to Sweden.
Every time I think about this, I get so pissed off. I am a textbook case of the Danish emigrant the politicians say they want back to Denmark. I work in technology and I make a lot of money; one reason I haven't worked in Denmark since I was a teenager is that no-one there can afford me. That said, I had seriously considered returning for good when I got kids. But the way the state has been treating returning Danish emigrants with foreign wives in the last decade, I feel the country has cut people like me off entirely. I don't feel welcome and doubt I will ever return.
