Hello there,
My name is Dario, I am a Portuguese Citizen but I was born and raised in South Africa. I have spent the past three years in Prague, Czechia but now I am in Lisbon for an internship.
I am engaged to an Azerbaijani woman for a year whom I met in Prague in 2014, and I want her to be in Lisbon with me, and to start a marriage process, however we are having troubles with understanding which Visa to apply or how to apply. There are numerous factors and challenges.
Her home Country does not have a Portuguese Embassy or Consulate. The nearest is in Turkey. She was told by the Spanish Embassy that she can apply for a Visa through the French Embassy. And if she does get the 'tourist' Visa, it will only permit around 2 weeks. This won't be enough time to begin the marriage procedure.
So my question is: Is there a Visa type for this strange type of situation - for example, South Africa (my country of birth) has a Visa specifically for Fiancees. It is named "Fiance Visa".
I look forward to your help and suggestions!
Best,
Dario
