Can couples apply for immigration to Germany only with the certificate issued by the civil affairs department without a marriage certificate?

If you are really married, there is no problem.

Germany is a non-immigrant country, and citizens of all non-EU countries, including China, cannot emigrate to Germany in principle.

1978 Germany promulgated the law on entry and residence, which stipulates that foreign immigrants should meet the following conditions: having a fixed residence; Proficient in German; Live continuously for more than 5 years; Able to live independently; You can get an indefinite residence permit. If you stay continuously for more than 8 years, you can get permanent residency. 1979, the restrictions on the entry and reunion of children of foreign immigrant spouses were lifted, and it was stipulated that immigrant spouses and children under the age of 16 could be reunited after waiting for four years. On June 65438+ 10/day, 2005, the new German immigration law came into effect.

If one of the German citizens has lived in Germany for a long time, he can apply for the other spouse to reunite in Germany, provided that the applicant proves that he has the ability to support his spouse and the spouse is not allowed to work after coming to China. When a China citizen marries a German citizen, the German spouse can go through the relevant formalities and go to Germany for reunion.

I don't know what's going on, but Australian immigration experts hope to help you.
