Revealing relationship on German visa application

Upvote:1

Your boyfriend may be relevant in two ways:

  • You should explain the premise of your trip. Why do you come to Germany and what will you do there? If your boyfriend is the reason for your visit, then leaving him out will make your explanation incoherent unless you invent a lie to explain your trip.
    Moral considerations aside, once you start lying it becomes harder and harder to keep your story straight. What about your next visit? Or the one after that? Sooner or later you will be caught at a lie and your future visa prospects will be diminished.
  • You should explain the financing of your trip. If you plan to stay at your boyfriend's home, you will need less spending money and the trip will look more affordable for you. (They will look at your finances to determine if there is a stable pattern of income and expenditure and if the expense of the trip looks reasonable in this context.)

A formal invitation would be a Verpflichtungserklärung. That is unlikely to be required for an UK resident with a good job and a good visa history. An informal invitation proves nothing.

It seems you are already on the way to a longer multiple-entry visa. They gave you six months last time, after all. One thing that might be helpful are several short visits on your next multiple-entry visa if you get one. Just a few days each time, so it doesn't look as if you want to live permanently in Germany, but so many that everybody can see why you need a longer multiple-entry visa.
