Excuse me, which lady has personally experienced the process of applying for a German family reunion visa?

I just got a family reunion visa. Let me introduce my experience to you! My husband is German!

1, your marriage certificate needs to be notarized and translated into German, and then double-certified. (The first certification was made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, and the second certification was made by the German Embassy. You can go to the local foreign affairs bureau to apply for a permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, and then go to the German Embassy to apply for a new permit, which will save time. The accreditation time of the embassy is Tuesday and Thursday morning, so remember to go early without queuing. Tell the doorman that you have identification, which is in the innermost window. Not many people apply for certification, and you don't need to get a number. )

2。 Your birth certificate also needs double authentication. Because if you want to get a German passport, you must register at the German Marriage Registry. The fee is 90 euros. (If your husband is German or holds a German passport)

3。 Your insurance. You can use your husband's insurance. But the embassy will also advise you to buy a short-term insurance, about a week. Because you can't get an insurance card immediately when you arrive in Germany.

4。 Household registration book, education certificate and driver's license should be translated.

5。 Your German test certificate is only applicable to the embassy. After arriving in Germany, the Immigration Bureau will arrange for you to study German, German Basic Law and Marriage Law for 600 hours. Hourly 1 euro.

You'd better translate your work contract, because when you arrive in Germany, you will fill in the form, which involves your work in China.

7. Your husband's birth certificate, residence certificate and visa, you need to bring them with you when you are in the German immigration office.

8. I don't know without a criminal certificate, because the Consulate General in Beijing didn't ask for it.

9。 The recipient of the embassy is from China. She will ask you, how did you meet? When did you meet? His job? Family and friends? What language do you usually communicate in? She won't stare at you and ask. A simple answer will do.

10。 Then the Germans will test your German. But I was asked: my name, my age, my husband's name, my husband's job.

1 1。 Then I will tell you that you are the wife of a German, and you don't need to pay any fees, just the mailing fee.

12。 Then you just have to wait for a month. In the meantime, your husband needs to return to Germany, because the immigration will verify whether his materials are true. The most important thing is his material.

You just have to follow the instructions on the embassy. If you get married in China, you don't need to show your birth certificate to the embassy. You just need to bring your birth certificate to Germany.

Leave me a message if you have any questions! I'll tell you what I went through.
