Overview

In general, many countries do not have a specific dating visa, but offer visas for fiancés and/or spouses or partners. It is important to differentiate these types of relationships, dating refers to a romantic relationship between two people who are getting to know each other and developing an emotional bond, but who have not formalized a legal union and have no intention of forming a family. On the other hand, a stable union is a legal concept that recognizes a lasting, stable and committed relationship between two people who live together, maintain a life in common and have the intention of being a family and building a life together, without the need for a formal marriage. Some countries offer de facto partner visas or relationship visas for couples living in a stable union, allowing the foreign partner to accompany the citizen or resident of the host country. These visas generally require evidence of cohabitation and proof of a genuine relationship.
