Hello Patrica, I am in a similar position and I have a Permanente Communiatrio for 10 years ( I am divorced) I would like to work in another EU country and I am being told I will need a Large Duracion EU to apply from within the EU country I wish toy work in . The larga Duracion is for 5 years , while the Permanente Communiatrio for 10 years and I have been told I cannot hold the both at the same time . Is Larga Duracion UE regarded as a permament residence like Permanente Communiatrio or does the Permanente Communiatrio have more rights than the Larga Duracion UE . I do not want to echange my Permanente Communiatrio for Larga Duracion UE but it seems that is the only way to work in another EU country . Are there conditions whereby one can hold the both ? Thank you
