I'm British but I want to move to Germany to be with my partner. I did have a residency permit since I lived in Germany prior to Brexit however in theory this is now invalid because I've not lived in the country for more than 6 months (currently about a year) although I never actually de-registered.
I'm trying to find work in Germany to get a visa but it's proving slow and since my partner lives in a dorm staying with her is not the most ideal.
Current travel rules state that British people can stay in the country for 3 months in every 6 without needing a visa. Is it legal for me to rent an apartment in Germany but only stay in it half of time?
Thank you all for your help!
