If you are both white Western/European heritage you probably wouldn't have any issues UNLESS someone rats you out.

If you are living in accomodation without any of your work colleagues (i.e. a flat in a building with no one else from your company) you could just "pretend" that you're married - no one else would know the difference unless you told them OR if you ticked someone off who suspected you might not be married.

And it isn't the living together that's the problem, it's the sex without benefit of marriage = adultery which is illegal - so if it's a quickie in the backseat of a car or you have a 10 year relationship - it doesn't matter here.

The key is discretion and keeping a low profile. However, the consequences can be severe (arrest and deportation). I've only known one person who's been arrested and deported and he was reported by a vindictive neighbour.
