Family reunion
visa requirements
Information on family reunion can be found here.
Please use the Consular Services Portal to submit your documents.
If you would like to submit applications for more than one person (e.g. parent and child/ren), please note that you need to create for every person a separate account in the Consular Services Portal.
Depending on the individual case, additional documents may be requested. Please note that in the visa process for family reunification, the responsible immigration office in Germany (Ausländerbehörde) must usually be consulted and further documents can be requested directly from the reference person (family member in Germany). This consultation can result in processing times of several weeks to several months.
