Why are you going back and back with your questions.

You asked a question and I answered. And you are taking me back to the beginning again. Obviously the baby is not carrying a Nigerian passport ( no airline would even carry the baby without a visa) the child has an American passport.

No questions were asked . JUst the moms finger print was taken in representation of the child.
I even went as far to tell you that after arrival.(passing the stage of POE) .

While extending the childs stay (which is changing from 90days stay to resident permit) all she was asked was to show a particular amount of money , which was €4k then.


* POE- point of entry

Thanks very much for your help and patience. Many apologies for the back and forth. Much appreciated.

I dont know.
I and my friend (who came in with here daughter) came through Leipzig. I realized small airports are with less stress that's just why I said so.

What was the baby's status? And the mother as well? Was the baby with a visa? Or was she with an American passport only? Were there any questions related to the baby's status? Many apologies for my many questions. I really appreciate your help.

Advise
Enter via smaller Airports. The baby would be allowed in. The moms finger prints would be taken for the baby at point of entry. Once you get into Germany. She extends the baby's stay with 4k( it might be higher now). She should have any problem.

Thanks very much for your advice. Does this mean that there may be some challenge at Frankfurt or Berlin airports? Do they have specific rules governing such cases?

Good morning house,
Thanks for such a wonderful forum.

I need some urgent insightful advice about my current situation.

My wife received her German student visa last week, and is travelling this week to resume school in Berlin.
Our daughter has an American passport, (not a German visa though), and we know she has access to enter Germany without a visa for short stays up to 90 days. Also, we know that American citizens can update their visas after the 90 days inside Germany.

However, we are a bit in a dilemma right now because a friend in the UK had an experience where their baby (with an American passport) wasn't allowed into the UK with the wife (she had a study visa) on grounds that the mum was in for a long stay whereas the child had access for only a short stay.

Does this apply to Germany for a child with an American passport? How will passport control at Frankfurt treat this situation?

What insight or similar experience do we have on this please?
