Travelling to Germany while my wife is there working, can I use a tourist visa?
Last year I went to a Schengen state on a tourist visa and we are only girlfriend and boyfriend at that time, now this year, we just got married and I want to travel back to the Schengen state for a tour as well as to visit my wife.
Can I still apply for a tourist visa? Or it is mandatory now to take the visitor visa since she is already my wife? Because if I do apply for a visitor visa, my wife is still not updating her maiden name from all over the documents she got.
Best Answer
You should apply for C-Visa, which is a visitor's visa
- the reason is to visit your wife and tourism and then to return
If you want to move permanently to your wife, you must apply for a D-Visa
- depending on whether she a EU Citizen or not the form of the application is different
