My German boyfriend and I got married in a third country because we work in a third country. How to go to Germany and how to settle in Germany after work is over?

1. After you marry a German national, you can go to Germany for family reunification. After applying for a family reunion visa, you will have legal residence in Germany. After having legal residence for a few years, you can apply for legal permanent residence in Germany or even naturalization.

2. Whether your child can go to Germany depends on your child’s age. I have the impression that if you are under 18 years old and go to Germany, you can go directly with your mother. However, after the age of 18, it can only be family reunion, and you cannot directly obtain permanent residence or even naturalization in Germany.

Fundamentally speaking, after marrying a German, it is not difficult to apply for a family reunion visa in Germany. Just prepare the materials required by the embassy and have a certain level of German language ability.
