How can I stay with my son in Germany, I am american?

Question

Ordinarily, I would be able to stay in Germany with my girlfriend if she was a German national but she is not. She is African and is not allowed back into her country. I want to stay here to take care of my son but my 3 month tourist stay is almost up.

Answer 2

You will not get a correct answer on this forum....contact the German Authorities and ask that question for a correct answer !!!!

Answer 3

get a residency permit. that's what i'm getting when i move there. mine will only be temporary since i'm just going for a year. but that should get you some time to gather what you need to be a permanent resident.

Answer 4

A german girlfriend would not make any difference. Only if you are married to a WORKING german you can stay automaticly.

You have to apply for a residenspermit and a workpermit.

I don't want to scare you, but be aware of some hard times concerning running around, doing paperwork and finding a job.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

If your son is in the military, he can declare you an dependent and you don't need a visa, you can stay as long as he is stationed in Germany.

Answer 6

Get a job with the Department of Defense...army, airforce.....you'll get sponsorship but the US Government and can stay in the country as long as you have the employment......Or you could just become a German Citizen and be done.

Answer 7

Catch a Ryan Air flight to Stanstead, England, spend the night there, and then come back. The flight can be very cheap. I just flew to England and back for 98 Euro.

Don't you just have to leave for a day?
