Thank you both of you for the details. I have a question, I submitted my master thesis in March 2024 but I have been working full time since January 2024. I applied for a Blue Card in March 2024 and I was told the same old rule of allowing parents to stay 90 days in 180 days. But I don't think that's the new rule if you apply for a Blue Card in March 2024. Can you please clarify this point? Thank you
There is a big confusion between resident permit and resident title. The entry visa is not a resident permit and as per the law you are required to apply for resident permit on or after March 2024.
Yes, the distinction is between a residence title and a residence permit. A visa is a residence title already, it is not a residence permit. As per our information the date of the first aquiring a residence title counts. Can you say where your information is from?
Thank you for the information 😊. I have a question as well, does this mean my parents can stay permenently with me or its a visa that makes them to stay with me for a temporary period.
Thanks for this info Jana. This law seems like what many companies tend to do...not give enough hikes to internal employees but offer exhorbitant hikes to new joiners. I am sure as HR you know what I mean. Lol. I hope there are some petitions which we can make to enable this also for current residents.
Thank you for this video! I just had my blue card issued in October of 2023. I am hoping to apply for permanent residency in the future. Is this new possibility of parent reunification available for people applying for permanent residency?
Unfortunately, it is only possible for people you will receive an employment residence title for the first time after March 1st, 2024. We have to hope that there will be another change.
@linusdhakal - I'm really sorry but unfortunately the Blue Card visa you first recevied already counts as a employment title. I'm sorry to give the bad news.
thank you very much for your info. my son will get his permanent residence this June and he is working and has a blue card since 2020- is it possible for me and my wife to apply for residence permit with the new regulations?
Thank you for the very informative video. My son who is a Canadian citizen came to Germany on a Youth Mobility Agreement visa in 2023 and has been working there since then.Will that count as a " working Resident Title?" He has applied for his blue card in 2024 but yet to receive it. Will he be eligible to bring me to Germany from Bangladesh?
Hi, Thank you so much for the information. A qs regarding the change of Visatype - Does it work if someone change their bluecard / workpermit (Issued before 1st March 2023) visa to Pernentant Residence or Citizenship. Will that still be counted under new regulation? :)
Thank you so much Jana for this info ! It’s really a good news. I was holding blue card earlier as I resided in Germany from 1st April 2019 till 30th Dec 2022. I’ve already left Germany & returned back to India on 31st Dec 2022. Ever since then my blue card is no more valid. Now, if I decide to go back to Garmany again on work permit after 1st April 24, would the new law applicable for me & I can bring parents to Germany ?
@chetanpatil7847 - From the wording they used I would think that it would exclude you as you have been holding an employment residence title before. I would still try or speak to a lawyer to see if there are any loopholes or how the administrative practice will be exactly.
@@TALENTRelocation I already have a EU bluecard but I am living in Austria. If I get a job in Germany and order a new blue card in Germany, will I be eligible to bring parents in Germany?
Having arrived on a family reunion visa in June 2023 and currently employed, I'm considering applying for a Blue Card after March 2024. Would I qualify to sponsor my parents in this scenario?
This is a good question. In theory, yes but in practise we will have to see how the authorities deal with it. I would certainly wait until March to change to the Blue Card and try to start the process.

Thank you very much for this informative video. I have a question regarding the same. Currently, I have a blue card since 2021 and my wife has dependent visa. But currently she has got the job which is eligible for EU Blue Card. So if she applies after March 2024 then she would be eligible for this scenario. Can we bring our parents permanently on this basis? and is there any chance that this 1st March 2024 will be delayed?
Hello, I have a question, I got employment VISA on March 1, 2023 and hence I believe I am not eligible to bring my mother. However, my wife was on dependant VISA since then and she is not working. My question is if she gets a job and changes her VISA to employment VISA, will she be eligible to bring my mother?? Thank you!
@hallogermany - I have a query in mind and would appreciate if you can clarify. 1. I might be coming to Germany on Work Permit visa from my company ( Accenture - IT software company) . In this case can I bring my parents on Family Reunification visa? 2. What is the family Reunification visa fees per individual parent? 3. How often the family reunification visa for parents needs to be renewed? 4. How long does it take a family Reunification visa for parents to be approved and ready?
Hi @ShubhamKumar-xe5ru. That will depend on your specific case. Maybe you can write us a message with your details? Our contact details are pinned in the comments. Do you already have a working contract and what is your educational/academic background?
crazy and unfair!! If it is a law,it should be for all of us. EU Blue Card holders already working in Germany should also get the opportunity of bringing their parents if they can afford.
What happens after March 2028. Does the resident permit for your parents become invalid and cannot be extended further? If that's the case then it's not permanent is it? They are only allowed to stay till 2028
@@AkashBiswas-uc2mo - The official document states this rule is only valid till March 2028. The government will then reevaluate their position.

I admit I couldn't find a final answer to your question. If you haven't had a German employment residence title before, I would try once you get the German title - but the wording I am reading is to vague to know for sure that an EU employment title might not also be barred. We would have to contact the authorities with your concrete case to ask.
@@TALENTRelocationThanks for the response. The whole purpose of this parents visa is to attract skilled labour. If they could attract skilled people from neighboring countries, it will be much easier on authorities/companies for relocation. And I can assure you that people who have never worked in Germany but are already staying in Europe on Blue Card will very easily look for opportunities in Germany if they get to be with their parents in Germany.
1) Get a job offer from a company in Germany 2) Find a flat and prepare application documents for a new (German)blue card 3) apply to Immigration Authority within a 30 days after you enter to Germany 4) wait for the immigration office response - its legally 30 days but it is taking really long time. I suggest to work with a lawyer in the city that you have the job offer 5) You can receive your blue card after min 4 weeks of your appointment 6) then the rest I’m not too sure about the procedure but as you will be receiving your German blue card after march 2024 yes you can bring your parents
I am currently holding EU Blue card and I want to get a permanent residency (PR) in coming months. So since I have my blue card for a while now , shall I wait for 1st March 2024 in order to get a PR?
