Hello Everyone,
My name is Simon, I have a German girlfriend and we are contemplating getting married when I would be visiting her in Mid- November , considering that most of her family will be present and already have approved of the marriage. My passport is Indian and I will be on a Schengen Visa for the trip there, my girlfriend checked with the local Immigration office in her town and they have told her that after the marriage, my visa would be extended for a period of 1-2 years to a residence permit , to be confirmed after the marriage and submission of relevant documents. I have used the " Search" function as adviced by the other knowledgeable posters and I offer my gratitude since it has helped me to confirm the list of documents I might need for the marriage.
Might I be allowed to voice a few doubts however,
(i) Would I get a Residence permit after marriage without having to go back to India upon expiry of the Schengen Visa?
(ii) I am a Tattoo artist/Artist with 2 year's experience . What are the chances of finding work for Tattoo artists in Germany?
I hope they have not been asked earlier, and my apologies If I missed them when trawling through the threads thrown up on looking for answers to my questions. My Thanks to the posters of Toytowngermany.com.
Yours sincerely,
Simon.
