Travelling to Germany as a tourist with my spouse whilst they are on a business visa
My husband is going Germany for his sales mission in Berlin. It's his first foreign trip. I also want to travel with him but maybe the embassy will suspect me as now I'm neither studying nor doing any kind of work.
How can I make the process to travel with my husband?
Best Answer
There are many spouses who do not work, and there are quite a few of them who travel with their spouses. Your situation is not unheard of. Of course consular officers by nature will scrutinize people without jobs a little more however it's normal.
Apply with the same supporting documents that a typical candidate will provide showing signs of ties to your home country.
- Ownership of real property (real estate) etc - Ownership of a business/investment/etc. - Responsibilities & relationships (e.g.: caring for parents, community involvement, etc.)
Think of as many as you can and have documentation if possible. Also I think it might be a good idea if possible to let your husband apply first and get his visa, then you apply because objectively without your husband getting a visa, it is unlikely you will be issued one yourself so you will save yourself the cost.
