Hope someone had a similar situation and can help with advice.
It's quite an immigration conundrum.
My partner and I are in a civil partnership (i.e. same-sex couple) registered in UK.
I'm an EU national and my partner got his FP for 5 years in April 2013.
We have already traveled to Spain visa-free without any problems (just had to educate the Spanish border guards with our Directive printouts, but that's just part of the deal
).Now, we are planning a trip to visit some friends in Vienna and were thinking of visiting Bratislava as well.
Both Austria and Slovakia are in Schengen, neither needs a visa for non-EEA family member judging from the embassy websites, however only Austria acknowledges same sex relationships, Slovakia does not.
If we first fly to Austria without visa and then try to go back to UK through Slovakia, would it cause a problem that my partner's passport is not stamped, as per Slovakia law our civil partnership is not recognized as a relationship?
Any similar experience out there?
Any comments much appreciated! Thanks!
