Hello all,

I am currently in Germany with the intent of applying for a freelance visa, and to visit my boyfriend who is here on a work visa. We have suspicion that I am pregnant (won't be 100% sure until a doctor's visit), and so I am wondering what our options are in terms of me being able to stay with him. If I am pregnant, I want to be able to carry out the pregnancy by his side.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Unless medical reasons prevent you from travelling, being pregnant does not entitle you to a longer stay in Germany, beyond your current visit visa.
Thus you need to get a visa on other grounds. The freelancer visa you mentioned is an option, as is a family reunion visa if you decide to marry.
