Residence permit - family reasons
Eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis aus familiären Gründen wird von der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erteilt, um familiäre Lebensgemeinschaften herzustellen und zu wahren.
Die Aufenthaltsgenehmigung wird für einen bestimmten Zeitraum erteilt. In Verbindung mit der erstmaligen Erteilung steht auch die Prüfung, ob ein Anspruch auf den Besuch eines Integrationskurses besteht.
Um eine Verlängerung der Aufenthaltserlaubnis zu beantragen, müssen dieselben Vorschriften erfüllt werden wie bei der Erteilung. Es werden die gleichen Unterlagen wie für die Erstbeantragung benötigt.
Details
Spousal reunification
Spousal reunification is possible for Germans and for foreigners with a residence permit or settlement permit. In principle, the spouse joining them is granted a residence permit if both spouses have reached the age of 18, their livelihood is secured and the spouse joining them can communicate at least in a simple manner in German (A1).
Child immigration
The subsequent immigration of children is possible for Germans and for foreigners with a residence permit or settlement permit. It is limited to minor children.
Different regulations apply to the residence of family members of persons entitled to asylum and recognised refugees.
Labour market
A residence title for the purpose of family reunification entitles the holder to pursue gainful employment. Access to the labour market and the associated conditions are specified in the wording of the residence permit.
