Hi,
I am utterly confused at the moment or let's say insecure.
I am married to a Cape Verdean national, I am European and our marriage took place in Santiago.
We are living together in Europe and now I am planning to come to Cabo Verde for 7 months with the cats. My husband won't come with us, he will stay back due to work.
Now I have read through multiple CV embassy websites from multiple countries and they all mention, that I don't have to pay airport tax as a married partner, nor do I need a visa, because we are married.
What they don't specify is, if I can stay however long I want without the visa.
I talked to the Embassy in Germany, but they didn't give me a clear answer, by stating: "I don't need a visa due to my marriage, but if I do, I can still request it in CV. "
So I emailed the Embassy in Portugal, in hopes to get a written and clear response. They don't answer my e-mail at all, although I have written it in Portuguese.
Did anyone here travel without their CV partner and stayed for longer?
Remembering my last travel, they already made a big fuzz and tried to charge me airport tax, when it is clearly stated, I don't need to. It took one hour of discussing, before they let me pass. However, the last time I only stayed for 3 weeks, so I didn't need to adhere to visa regulations.
Considering a visa is a more serious topic, I am sure they are going to deny me or overcharge me, if I don't have clear written proof, that I am exempt.
Has anyone a clear answer on that or knows, where I can find it legally written down somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
