Spouse reunification as an EU citizen
Look forward to spending time together with your family in Germany. There are some requirements for family reunification. But as an international specialist you will certainly meet these requirements.
Are you an EU citizen, live and work in Germany and would like to bring your spouse to Germany? As an EU citizen with the right of free movement, your spouse and children can also live and work in Germany. Whether your family members need a special residence permit depends on their nationality.
The subsequent partner is a citizen of a member state of the EU, EEA
If your spouse is a citizen of an EU or EEA country, moving to Germany is very easy. Your spouse can live and work in Germany without restrictions. A special residence permit does not have to be applied for.
The subsequent spouse is a citizen of a country outside the EU
If you are an EU / EEA citizen and your life partner comes from a non-EU country, he or she needs a visa for the purpose of spousal reunification to enter Germany. If the immigrant partner already has a residence permit from another EU country, he or she can enter Germany without a visa (Section 2 (4) FreizügG / EU).
How to get your spouse to Germany
If your spouse needs a visa to enter Germany, he or she must apply for the visa at the German embassy or consulate. A list of all representations of the Federal Republic of Germany abroad can be found on the world map “Local contacts”.
In order to apply for a visa for the purpose of family reunification, the passport and proof of marriage or partnership must generally be provided. Ask the German embassy responsible for you which other documents must be submitted.
Since processing can take some time, please familiarise yourself with the documents required for the application in good time and submit the application in good time. After entering the country, the new spouse must first register his or her place of residence with the residents’ registration office and then personally apply for the residence permit for the spouse’s reunification. When the residence title is issued, the immigrant spouse immediately has the unrestricted right to pursue gainful employment in Germany.
