I need to obtain a visa. Here are my conditions:
I have kept it simple:

I’m 24, = automatic schengen visa for 90 days.
I have a spanish partner but we don’t want to get married.
My spanish partner has contacts whereby i could get a job. For example in a hotel.
My spanish is good.
I am not currently a student and don’t plan to. I have a bachelor.
I have a couple of ‘self-employed’ possibities, but do not produce enough money.
I am already in spain, andalucia.

Which road can i go down?
Could the option of being a ‘de facto couple’ help?
What can i do?

Thanks

Are you sure I would have to go back?

The finnish website says that somebody can collect a visa for somebody else,

“Yes. The person has to have an authorisation letter and an ID, eg. passport.”

I know this is not finland but i am clarifying.

No, there’s no ‘de facto’ couple possibility that I know of.

Your best bet is to get a job, then apply for a work visa. If you get it you’ll have to fly back to Australia to pick it up.

Good luck!

Hello!

I’m an EU-citizen currently living in Spain to study for about 6 months more. My boyfriend is American and came with me so we could be together and do some travelling. He exceeded his 90-day permission some days ago and wants to stay until the end of my course, by the end of July. I read a lot of things about the consecuences of travelling after that period, so I was wondering… Is it safer to travel around EU by train or bus or it doesn’t matter?

Thanks!
