Course Description
Germany takes family unity seriously. The German spouse reunion visa allows foreign nationals to join their partner who is living and working legally in Germany. Whether your client's spouse holds a German work permit, a Blue Card, or German citizenship, the process involves language requirements, income thresholds, and a specific consulate application. This course makes the full process clear — from the German language requirement to the residence permit issued after arrival. Designed for immigration advisors and consultants handling family reunification cases for Germany.
