Marriage in Hungary?

13 years ago

Hello everyone, I (sincerely) appreciated the past great responses to my 'a US citizen-but without a Country' situation.

In short: my Schengen Visa is almost expired due to a work-permit neglect/mistake by the local Foreigner Supervisor & the Employer/Company in Germany (clearly not my mistake). Legally, I'm supposed to leave the 'Schengen States' for 180 days, -then return as a 'tourist' again.

I thought of an interesting question: What if I got married in Hungary to either a local there or someone from a nearby EU? Country -but if 'after' my Schengen Visa expires? Does anyone know if that also somehow qualifies me for permanent residency [anywhere] (after-the-fact) & so I can legally enter the Schengen States again without thousands of €'s of penalties if I left after my Schengen Visa expiration?

Also, if I ever had to legally leave the 'Schengen States' for 180 days, I'd be curious where people (in my increasingly common political situation) are most easily traveling to, to spend that 180 days (and to somehow live very cheaply & support themselves there during that time with any kind of available {legal?} work {ie: teaching english, cleaning, grocery-store work, lower-pay factory work, etc.)? Is it possible that Hungary, or Monaco, or Liechtenstein, or Andorra, or one of the eastern EU Countries are one of those (non-schengen??) places {unfortunately, I would have to quickly work to support myself doing any kind of work an english-speaking person could do}. A Hungarian neighbor told me English is not uncommon in Hungary(?)

*What about other nearby livable Countries?* Any ideas anyone?

*What if I did leave the Schengen States for 180 days but there was no Border person to stamp my passport in [that] new Country (how would I prove I left the Schengen States)?*

Someone twice kindly advised me to consult an Immigration Attorney on such issues, but since the local Foreigner Supervisor's accident/mistake -it was much too late to keep my new job to earn any income for such costly professional advice.

But, in the distant past I read some really good advice from regular people like us here in these forums on similar subjects and so I hope to hear more.

For a brief history: Everything I've ever HONESTLY earned in the US in my 40+ years is lost due to no fault of mine because of what the truly criminally-operated US had turned into (yes, for <1% of it's law-abiding people right now it is really hopelessly BAD with no Rights -almost like an innocent Jew in Nazi Europe 70 years ago!). I reasonably felt forced to permanently leave the criminal US a few years ago, then I actually tried to immigrate to beautiful South America for 2 years but I am too 'white' & was regularly targeted by bandits. Then finally a Human Rights advocate rescued me and flew me to central EU (with agreed limited support) -where I have been very grateful to be for the last year.

I would appreciate anyone's thoughtful advice -as I would do for anyone. Thanks everyone!
