I know someone that is using the option, but don't know much about the process. PM if you would like to talk to them about it.
As far as I know, non-married couples are not recognised as spouses for visa purposes by the German authorities. They thus have to get other visa types on their own merit.
I haven't heard an option for short-term visa for unmarried couples. Maybe you can explain what you mean?
thank you for feedback! last month there was a news for non-arried couple https://twitter.com/BMI_Bund/status/1291979156310425601
there is a procedure to enter. just wanted to know is there is any practice and any hints.. not for visa - only for short term entering
Is this some special rules due to the virus situation?
I don't think this is the normal procedure.
yes, i think it's only due to COVID closing the borders
