1. Is there anything like general visa for those who want to stay in Germany with reasons other than work / study / travel / business

2. Can I just stay in Germany and not travel to places with a travel visa (will the embassy have issues with such an idea)

3. What is the maximum duration allowed on a travel visa or a general visa

4. Is it possible to state my girl friend studying in Germany as a reason for requesting a long term visa

5. If I get a long term visa will I be required to return to India after every few months
