Hello.
I'm a South African citizen who would like to work abroad, namely Europe.
A German friend of mine has offered to marry me so that I can obtain citizenship and a German passport.
Has anyone had any experience with this, or knows the ins and outs of doing this?
Do we have to live together? If so , for how long? When will I be able to apply for a German Passport/Citizenship after I get married? Will I have to give up my South African passport? Penalties if I get found out? Etc
Thanks
