I'm pretty much in the same boat.聽 I believe if any EU National can move to another EU country and work and live there, and you as a Non-EU spouse would go under their application and be eligible to work the same.

But you would have to check with the German consulate in RO.

Well, you can NOT live or work in Germany with a Romanian residence permit.
As the above poster pointed out, you might be eligible for a German residence and work permit by being spouse of an EU citizen who moves there. I don't know the specifics, but this should give you an idea what to look out for.

So can I traveled to Germany with my Romanian citizen wife ? And if my wife will start working there and register then will I be able to register as well and receive a work permit ? Or is it mandatory that she goes alone and then I can go ?
