Hello, ALL US expats! My boyfriend owns an apartment in Bratislava and we are looking to spend 5-7 years there; however, looking over the reasons for immigration, there seems to be nothing for me except "study". Has anyone had experience applying for a temporary or long term visa using "study". Does it have to be at a University? Or can studying the language in a class count? How have you Americans managed to stay there? (Note: I'm REALLY retired and have no interest in working. We want to use Bratislava as our jumping off point for travel and exploration)
I've contact the Slovakian embassy here in the States but they just keep quoting me the in fo I find on their website with no clarification of what exactly "purposes of study" entails.
Any thoughts?
