Married to an Italian citizen, but I need to go to Germany alone, do I need a visa?
I am a South Korean, married to an Italian woman. Currently, I ran out of visa (the tourist visa) and I had no time to redo the marriage visa. So I am currently overstaying with a tourist visa for about a year and a half now.
Soon I have to visit my friend in Germany, but my wife is busy with work, and may not be able to join me on this trip to Germany. Will I have any problems going through the passport control in Italy, and passport control in going into Germany?
I do have the documents to prove that I am married. So will I have any problems if I do travel to Germany alone at the passport controls?
or will they just let me pass through?
Best Answer
One could drive over Austria. There are no controls between Italy and Austria and Austria and Germany. Only if they are looking for a criminal or something like that :)
