Additional points: 1) Spouse in Germany has to send "Meldebescheinigung" which is the city registration letter as well. 2) Spouse in Germany can register their partner with their Insurance company (for e.g. TK, AOK) even before the partner is in Germany. Just contact your insurance provider and inform them about the date on which your partner is arriving in Germany. The company will register your partner as your dependent from that date. **Note: After submitting the documents, Ragini received a mail after 3 weeks to submit "Verpflichtungserklärung". After I submitted the document, Ragini received visa approval after 2 weeks.
Appreciation post: I came across this video of yours approx 3 months before. That was a time when i was going nuts searching for information on FRV for spouse of student. All the unstructured info i got online was way too confusing. Your video was like a ray of light in the dark that brought hope to me. I followed your instructions throughly, even used the template of cover letter and invitation you shown. 3 months down the line i am writing this holding the FRV stamped passport in my hand. Thanks a ton dear Adwait and Ragini. Keep going! ❤️
That's great news 🎉🎉 Congratulations Thank you so much for the Post Ajith. We are really happy that the video has helped someone reunite with their spouse. Congratulations once again and wish you the best 👍🏾😊
Great video, guys. No other UA-camr has explained it this well. I have many inputs and was wondering how I would be able to send my experience across to others without having to post a video. Great work. 👍🏻 The only thing I would like to say is that, it would have been better if you had mentioned how long it took for you to get the dependent visa.
Thank you for the information and support ... passing on information is one thing but you guys actively helped me with my doubts. I am very thankful to both of you ❤️. Keep up the good work
Hey guys thank you so much for such a informative video. Its really helpful to understand overall process of family reunion visa for students as there is almost no information readily available.
Our pleasure 😊 We understand the pain that a couple/family has to go through because of this and hence, we decided to create this video which addresses these problems. We are glad that you found this video helpful and hope that you reunite with your spouse at the earliest 😊
Hi Dhanashree, My wife is in Berlin now. I am going to apply for Dependent Visa. Did you got dependent visa ? At Rathaus, when my Wife enquired at Reception, they say that Dependent Can't be brought in Student Visa
@@karthikks9976 You can apply for FRV under spouse category if your wife has resident permit for a duration of one year or more(as per my knowledge ). And in case of spouse being student you would need block account for financial reasons. But you can file visa application even if your wife is student.
Hi thanks for the helpful video ! My husband is currently working and is on blue card and i have a appointment on coming month can you please clear 2 doubts 1- Do I need to submit my travel or medical insurance ? If i mention my duration of stay 1 year then will they ask for such docs ? 2- what is the demand draft specifically for ? And apart from the detail shown in video do I have to fill any other details there too ? As you mentioned regarding the change in Euro so just wanted to know bit more on this !! Do i need to enter a amount there or so ?
Hi ! Thanks a lot for the information. I had a doubt and asking since I didn't get any information online and you also mentioned that we can do the application if we have a temporary work permit. My husband has a temporary blue card (Fiktionsbescheinigung) and waiting for his actual blue card but it may take very long. Sometimes 6 months. I wanted to ask whether with the temporary blue card can I apply for the Spouse Visa? It would be nice if you could share some light on this.
Thank you so much.. Vert helpful vedio! I have a few questions, it will be very helpful, if you could clear a few of my doubts. 1. "Verpflichtungserklärung" has to be provided by someone residing in German? Or can be provided by someone living other than Germany if they meet the reqirements of more than 1180euros? 2. What do you meant by you met Visa officer there in Germany? Who is that and how did you contact them? 3. If there is one child, does the amount for blocked amount changed? 4. Do you know if the spouse who is dependant can work when they come to Germany? Thanks in advance!
Hi Vishakha! Glad that the information was helpful for you 😊 Answering your questions: 1) The person who can provide "Verpflichtungserklärung" has to be a resident of Germany. 2) Every resident in Germany has a Visa officer in the Ausländerbehörde of the city they live in. You can drop a mail to the Ausländerbehörde of your city and your visa officer will reply you. You can find the email id on their website. 3) If the Visa officer says that you have to open a blocked account then yes, the amount will change depending on the number of kids one has. However, your visa officer will let you know the amount that needs to be blocked. We have shared the link of blocked account amount calculation by Expatrio. You can check it for your reference however, the final decision lies in the hands of your visa officer. 4) Yes they can work full-time. When the spouse gets a job, their visa changes to either blue card or work permit depending on their profession and their annual salary.
@@acoupleingermany Thank you for the valuable information.. Meanwhile when the partner is studying can the spouse work partime? & can the dependant spouse also get enrolled to some course & start studying if they want? Its been 8years to our marriage & I am currently in Delhi, will there be a marriage verification? & do I have to pay hefty amount for that? Did Ragini came in the pandemic period? Has the rules changed in anyway during this..
You're Welcome Vishakha 😊 Answering your questions: 1) Yes your spouse can work part-time or full-time both. Once they receive a full-time position their visa gets converted to a Work permit or Blue card. 2) I am not quite sure about this as I don't know anyone who has done that. Having said this, technically I see no reason why this won't be possible. Better confirm this once with your Visa officer at the Ausländerbehörde. 3) Marriage verification is something that is highly unpredictable. When my wife applied, our marriage was already 3 years old. However, my wife had all her documents like Passport and Aadhar with her new surname. Also, she had added my name in the Passport as Spouse. We are hoping that is the reason why we didn't require Marriage verification. If you can, better renew your Spouse's passport and add your name in the "Spouse name" section. This might help avoid Marriage verification but again we can't guarantee that as it is highly unpredictable. You might also inquire about Apostile from Ministry of External Affairs. Since, we didn't do that, I can't provide much information on that. Sorry 4) Yes Ragini came during Pandemic. The general rules, procedure and documents havent't changed at all. What might change is if you are allowed to visit the Consulate in person or you have to send the docs via post etc. But this highly depends on the Covid cases in India. W.r.t the procedure or documents required, nothing has changed.
Thank you for such a detailed video. You have mentioned that you talked to your visa officer before applying for a visa at Ausländerbehörde so did you take any appointment? If yes, for which category? 2. Currently, I am on my post study work permit visa, and I am working part-time. So, do I need to have a full-time work contract before we apply for a family reunion visa ? Bcz I am also going to show €10000 in my bank account. Will that be enough? Thanks
Thank you so much for your great effort in making a detailed explanation. I am having one doubt. Please look into it. During the visa processing stage. Dose the spouse in Germany need to visit the visa office along with the documents ? Or is it necessarily not required? Actually in our case the spouse in Germany got a Mail to submit some documents via email. We are actually curious about what may be the next steps.(Student Dependent visa category)
Thank you for the video, Do we need arbeitgeberbescheinigung? My wife has appointment next week. Also right now we have taken travel insurance ok only, do we need the TK insurance for visa appointment?
Hi Vishal Thanks for reaching out Yes if you're working fulltime then Arbeitsbescheinigung is needed. Travel health insurance is required only when the visa is approved and you are asked to submit Passport for Visa stamping. For the initial visa interview no proof of insurance is needed. No TK insurance is not required for a visa. That's something your wife has to do after getting the Visa or after coming to Germany (For this, you can refer to the part 2 of this video, "Things to do after getting family reunion visa")
Hy first of all thank you so much for this informative video as well I got information that we need gazette because my wife change his surname and middlename but I have one question there are two type of gazette 1 gazette of india 2gazette of state So please guide which one I have to do and from where did you do gazette and my wife is from Gujarat so our embassy also in Mumbai only so please suggest me good way
Thank you for the information it helped me a lot, I have a question, for me to join my husband in Germany who is on student visa, do I have to maintain the block account or else is my husband supposed to maintain the block account?
Hey. Thank you for making this video. I am living in a dormitory. Do i need look for apartment before my spouse applies for visa or after they get visa?
Thank you so much for making this video. Very Helpful. I have one question. Can you please guide me here? Question Background: Right now, I am a Master student of in Germany. Along with masters, I am working in an industry as a work student. Based on a Family reunion visa, I would like to invite my wife from India to Germany. I have a Residence permit till May 2023. And then I will extend that visa though I am yet to do the master project and master thesis which is part of my masters course (It will take further 1 year 3 months). Question: Now, if I apply for my wife's dependent visa in February 2023. On the basis of a family reunion visa, how long can my wife stay with me? As my resident permit will expire on May 2023.
Well Family reunion visa is a National visa which is given for a duration of 6 months or 180 days and hence, if your visa is not valid for at least 180 days or 6 months, the visa of your spouse won't be processed.. This happened with one of our followers recently where the Visa officer wrote an email stating that when the visa of the spouse in Germany will be processed, only then a decision would be made on their application. So in short, if you apply in Feb, your wife will get a similar reply. So better extend your visa first and then ask your wife to apply.
Thank you guys for the information. This video is very helpful. My Husband is on student visa and I (along with my 10year old kid) will be applying for the visa. Can you please suggest the questions that would be asked during the visa interview? Thanks
Can you please explain a bit more in detail about the gazette document (for change in name after marriage). What is the procedure to get it and which concerned authority in India provide this document. Thanks in advance!
Hello, Thanks for the detailed video. If the wedding happened according to court marriage is there still a need of photo album? Mumbai consulate application.
For Court marriage, a Photo Album isn't required because you get married in front of a Judge.. however, to be on a safe side, you can click pictures of signing the form, exchanging ring, garland etc. in the court. You can then print these pictures and add it in a small Album and submit it (if the German Consulate asks for it)
Hello I had a doubt , should we write the room agreement contract (mietervertrag) in both mine and my spouse name or in just my name ? Thanks again for the video 😊
Thank you for the detailed info. Did you carried DD for verification process as well? If yes how much amount it was? Bcz on the site they have mentioned fees for FRV category varies and this is confusing. If it varies then what is the amnt which we shld mention while making the DD. Any advice? Thank you in advance
Glad that the video was helpful to you 😊 No we didn't carry a DD for verification. If verification is needed for your application then, you would receive a mail with the amount and then, you have to draft a new DD and submit it to them. Our advice is that if possible, at least add the spouse name in your passport. Applying and getting a new passport takes time, we agree, but the amount is quite less as compared to the marriage verification fees. In our case, verification wasn't required and one possible reason that we feel is that the spouse name was mentioned in at least 1 government document (Ragini's passport). But again, that is our perception. We wouldn't guarantee that it would work.

A Couple in Germany Within how many days your application got approved? Also did they took the passport at the time of appointment or you need to schedule d stamping appointment again at vfs?
@@dextertyger7075 As per the official website the processing time is 12 weeks however, we received it in roughly 4-5 weeks. Since it was Corona time, the application got stuck for a few months because the visa offices were not open but once they started, we got the process done fairly quickly. It depends on a lot of factors like the finance shown, workload at the Ausländerbehörde and the Visa officer as well. No your passport is not to be submitted at the time of appointment. When your spouse gets visa, they will receive a mail to submit the passport along with travel insurance and tentative date of travel.
Thank you so much for the detailed video I'm a student here, and I would like to invite my wife and kid so when you say get confirmation from the Visa officer is it from the India Visa officer or German visa officer for the blocked account.? please respond
Thank you for the appreciation 😊 It's the Visa officer in Ausländerbehörde.. if you live in a big city, it's highly likely that you don't know the officer. In this case, you can drop a mail to the Ausländerbehörde's email id. Edit : Recently, we heard that there are some companies like Expatrio and Fintiba that allow opening of blocked account even without the letter from the visa office. You can check on their website or contact the customer service to know more
Yes absolutely. Spouse can work fulltime or part-time. When they secure a full time position, their visa changes to either Blue card or Work permit (depending on the profession and salary).
Some agent are saying that B2 level is mandetory for family reunion visa & you both guys are telling that A1 is necessary so can you please tell me which is true
Hi, my wife is going to apply for FRV and I have a question related the documents to be sent to her here from Germany. I wanted to ask if the documents have to be sent online as scanned copies or via post. Also, if the copies of documents have to be self attested? It’s bit urgent. Any help will be highly appreciated.
You can apply directly.. if you apply within 6 months, Aufenthaltstitel isn't required.. for applications made later than 6 months, Aufenthaltstitel must be provided
Hi. Thanks a lot for all the information. This video is definitely going to help us. I had a query with related to the Visa appointment service. Is there any other way to apply for the appointment since VFS is currently has no slots? It would be really helpful if you can help me with this. Thanks in advance.
How you got appointment ? Now a days there is no slots available and they are keeping applications on waiting list.. How was your experience with appointment booking?
I understand that getting an appointment now a days is quite stressful. We had booked a slot online (luckily we got one very quickly) however, if you don't get an online slot then try calling VFS in the morning. Sometimes it happens that people cancel the appointment and if you are lucky, you might get it when you call them. Also drop them an email with all your details requesting an appointment for Family reunion visa. All the best 👍 Hope you get an appointment soon.
Thanks for Informative video. Mera ek questions hai....... Germany me rhne vale Spouse ko full time contract matlab samja nhi.....Mera contract to 2 years ka hai....
Hi wonderful video. I have a question. Is it possible for a student without a student job contract can bring his spouse? What are the requirements? How can we show the finances?
Yes it is possible. What finances need to be shown can only be decided by the visa officer in Ausländerbehörde. So we would advise that you speak with them once before your spouse applies for Visa in India
thanks a lot Guys ! A lot of intformation ! Just one questions For the obligatory letter, if we have enough savings and funds still it is required ?? Also in worst case if the parents deposit money in the account of spouse who is in Germany, and then if he opens the blocked account in the name of the spouse who wishes to come to Germany, like how we do from India while coming for Masters is that allowed ? thanks for the video again Best
This will be decided only by the visa officer at Ausländerbehörde. They will decide what has to be shown as a proof of finance.. Secondly, you cannot open a blocked account without an admit letter or a letter from the visa officer asking you to open a blocked account
@@acoupleingermany How shall a person approach the visa Office at Ausländerbehörde Likw we can go if we have appointment only is there any provision to meet the visa officer for such normal queries ? I will go on Munich Ausländerbehörde site as well but if you guys know let me know Best Salil
@@salilpatwardhan6353 well if you know your officer, the one who handled your Aufenthaltstitel, you can contact him directly. If not then you can check Ausländerbehörde website and drop a mail to the officer who is in charge of your surname. The officers are assigned by surnames which is shown on the Ausländerbehörde website. If not, then you can drop a mail to the general email id on the website
@Shaily Vandita We are assuming that the document submission that you are referring to is Verpflichtungserklärung i.e Obligation letter (shown for finances). We had our appointment on 9th December and we got a mail around mid-January to submit this document. However, since this was in 2020 and the Visa offices were closed for roughly 4-5 months because of Covid, Adwait submitted the document in Germany in July and Ragini got her visa in mid-August. Hope this answers your query 😃
Thanks a lot for the great video. As you mentioned that the spouse living in Germany should ask visa officer.. but I live in Bremen. And it's very difficult to ask visa officer. I call them and no one picks up. On website it's mentioned I cannot visit them without appointment. Also I am not getting the option where I can book appointment to visit visa officer and ask.. can you suggest me something in this
Hi Advait. There is a mismatch in the name and DOB of my spouse in her Birth Certificate. Where as all other documents like passport, Aadhar card etc. are as per the name and DOB in the SSLC certificate. Can we skip providing the birth certificate in such case? Because getting it corrected is a very tedious task. Please reply.
Since the family reunion visa will take 3 months. Can my spouse come in tourist visa and then come in family reunion visa? Will it have chances of rejection? Please reply
Hi thank you for such clear amazing information regarding the query of the spouse visa I have question please answer dear , I wanna go to Germany for MBA so being a married girl with holding student visa in how many days after landing to Germany I can apply for my spouse visa I want ASAP reunion with my spouse. Some people say you can apply for spouse visa after getting permanent job of 2years but your video give me another hope.
Technically your husband can apply immediately.. if he applies within 6 months of your entry in Germany then the visa stamped on your passport is a sufficient enough proof.. after 6 months, it is mandatory to have an Aufenthaltstitel (Residence permit).. Permanent job, 2 years and all is not true at all
Hello I have question regarding the language certificate. For application of spouse visa is it mandatory to show A1 level certificate. i have done B2 from goethe institute and i also have the attendance certificate. But i dont have any of the passing certificate. And i m also not getting the Xams dates. so can i show them the attendance certificate? Plz help me with this query.
Well as per the checklist provided by the German mission, they need a certificate.. we can't tell you if they will accept attendance certificate or not.. you have to ask that to the German Consulate
Hi Kamal, This depends on the city you live in. In small cities, this should be around Netto (in-hand) 1500-1800 €/month whereas in big cities, it should be between 1800-2300 €/month. The best option is to contact the Ausländerbehörde in your city and ask them about it
It's better to provide the address on the Passport or if you are staying at a different place and have a proof like for e.g. Aadhar card then you can provide that address as well
What you say is logically right but it doesn't matter. I ticked "No" on the National visa form at the time of my Student visa as well as during the Family reunion visa and both were approved. So perhaps it doesn't matter because eventually you extend your Visa (by getting Residence permit) after coming to Germany
Hello Sir, Yes house contract is mandatory and they have some regulations for that as well. Aapko 2 logo ke liye 30sq.m ke room ka contract dikhana padega aur kids hai to unke liye extra room. Without house contract aapke documents India me accept nahi honge
I have my appointment in a week at Mumbai german consulate .Can I submit the DD made from any other state (Bihar) Nationalise bank or it should be only from Mumbai ?
Hi Ankita Thanks for reaching out. As per the official website, you can issue DD from any Nationalized bank, nothing is mentioned about the branch. So, a DD from a Nationalized bank from another state's branch should be fine unless and until it's addressed to the Mumbai consulate. However, better to clarify this once with either VFS or the Consulate
I get the Good knowledge from this channel. I am very interested for study Visa and I want to settle in my dream country . Can I go to Germany with kids on spouse visa . Kindly tell me about clearly sir . How much the processing time for reach in germany for spouse and kid by study visa . Or they Can along with me for germany . Thanks .
Hello Mr. Ashok We are glad that you liked our content and it was helpful to you 😊 To answer your question, yes you can come to Germany on student visa and eventually bring your family here. Also, technically you can bring your wife and kids along with you to Germany but the problem with that is you need to show a lot of money in blocked account right at the start. Also, you need to find a big house for all of you to stay together. This in our opinion is quite tedious. In our opinion, not an advice please do your due diligence, you come to Germany first on student visa and then eventually bring your family after finding a better and a bigger accommodation. Hope that this information was helpful 😊
The officer asked me to correct the place of birth in my birth certificate and I got it corrected but in new digital birth certificate, my father's name has no surname but my passport has. Will there be any problem? Because my father has no surname in any of his documents so it cannot be corrected.
Mostly not! They might ask you to submit an affidavit explaining that the two different names belong to the same person. In worst case if they reject it, they will provide the explanation. So don't worry if that is the case then you can challenge it by providing the Affidavit
Hello thanks for the info. Can I bring my wife and 4 kids to Germany with a "post study work visa" A post study visa is also called "Job seeking Visa. It is given after completing masters degree program or PhD
Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Sure you can bring your family while you're on a job seeker visa. However, we wouldn't advise it because naturally, you have to show additional finances to support them and this might make it a bit more tricky to convince your visa officer for the visa. So to summarize, yes you can apply for their visa. There isn't any restriction that someone on JSV can't bring their family however, you have to take into consideration the finances. Hope the answer was helpful 🙂
Heyy really appreciate your efforts I was exactly in search of this topic. Suppose I am leaving for 2023 winter admission in Germany, then can my spouse book the appointment with vfs for reunion visa, at the time of my departure just to cut off on waiting period? So that by the time she has booked an appointment, I can initiate my process and get all the docs ready from Germany? Is this possible?
Unfortunately no because the documents clearly mention that the Spouse in Germany must have Aufenthaltstitel i.e. Residence permit (not to be confused with PR i.e Permanent residence)
My visa application was done on 17 April, since then i was waiting for complete 3 months. Then on 17th July my husband sent a mail to city foreign Office for knowing the current status of visa, they replied that on 25 may they received the application in munich city, do you have idea.. How much more time they will take. It already been more than 3 months.
nothing like that, ghar ka contract hona chahiye bas. humne to december me apply kiya tha and ghar ka contract march se dikhaya tha to that is also accepted
I had an appointment in Delhi embassy on 5th May, I submitted all the documents but there was some problem with birth certificate and other documents were right and also my spouse is a researcher. The interviewer asked me to correct the birth certificate and she told me once I got it corrected, I send them on the email address which she gave me. I've send them email on Monday but I've not got any response yet so do you have any idea in how many days they reply?
Thanks for reaching out One just can't predict it.. you may drop them an email for follow up but it's hard to predict when they'll respond. Also, the final decision is taken by the visa officer in Germany and not the ones in the Embassy/Consulate. The visa officers are currently facing a high workload because of the Ukrainian crisis.
@@tabigul1982 For a couple at least 30qm and if You have kids then 10qm extra + a separate Kid's room Better confirm these requirements with your visa officer because they change from city to city
Glad that you liked our video😊 Yes your wife can search for full time positions in Germany on Spouse/FRV visa and once she gets a job, her visa gets converted to a Blue card or Work permit. Then she is no longer dependent on you 😊 If you have liked the video then please like the video and subscribe to our channel if you haven't already.
@@acoupleingermany sir....final question ...my wife is a nurse ...if she know german at C1 level, can she get a job at a hospital....hows the job market in Berlin..my college is in Berlin
@@dhruvkishorebole5278 Yes with C1 level German she can definitely get a job 😊👍🏾 In the field of Health there is a labor shortage and h nice if your wife already has C1 level proficiency then she definitely has better job prospects.
We think it's not mandatory but again to be very honest this highly depends on the visa officer. We would highly recommend you to contact your visa officer and get this clarified from them
Nice video, few questions as i have an appointment in early next week at chennai. 1. My bluecard is granted but its still yet to come by post? can my spouse tell that its under processing and submit this doc later? 2. What is employer statement. I have employment contrat and last 3 month pay slips. 3. I have taken a house of 52 sqms. We are family of 3 myself, spouse and 1 kid(infant - 3.5 years old). Is there separate kid room required? 4. does my spouse need to know german as i am a bluecard holder?
5. Before the appoinment, should we take the travel health insurance or can we take this insurance later during submission of the passport? when i talk to TK, they said they need exact date of arrival and also residence registration of my spouse as well, which i can do only after she arrives in germany.
Glad that you liked the video 😊 1) Well you might have got a letter which states that you have got a Blue card. I think you can show that but again I am not sure. Maybe the documents get accepted but perhaps your application stays on hold unless you submit the Blue card copy. However, this depends on the Visa officer at the Ausländerbehörde so it is difficult for anyone to know what might happen. 2) Employer statement is the Arbeitsgeberbescheinigung. You need to collect this document from Ausländerbehörde/Stadtverwaltung, fill it up, get it signed from your company and send it to your spouse. She has to submit this document at the Consulate. 3) This is something that you need to confirm with your Visa officer at the Ausländerbehörde as it depends on them. Generally, in Germany a separate kid's room is required. In my brother's case as well, he had 2 children but he showed just a single Kid's room and that was accepted. Our advice would be that you confirm this with your visa officer. 4) No. German language certificate is not required for spouses of Blue card holders. However, if they already have a certificate then it is better to carry that. A1 is sufficient.
Travel health insurance is not required at the time of appointment. It is required only when the visa is approved and the passport is to be submitted for stamping. Yes only after your spouse arrives in Germany and you do residence registration, your spouse and kids becomes dependent on your health insurance.
@@acoupleingermany Thank you for the quick response. 1. No, they did not give any letter about bluecard. They said you will get the bluecard in 4 weeks (This is in nov last week). When i ask for fiktionsbescheinigung, she said its not required as you will get in 4 weeks and i have visa valid till feb. 2. As i understand, it is employer certificate. i have that. Thx.
Hello, I came to Germany in 2020 on a student visa. I have started my full time job just recently and also applied for a blue card a week ago. I want to apply for the spouse visa of my wife. Which category should I select for my spouse dependent visa or family reunion visa? Also, I haven't received my blue card yet. It is still in process. Can I still apply for my wife's visa based on my blue card as I will receive my blue card soon? Can I show the proof of accommodation and health insurance after her visa gets approved? For DD, should I make it in Indian currency or in Euro? If in Indian currency then how to manage currency exchange? Please respond to my queries. 🙏
Hi meri file submit ko four month ho gaye but abhi tak koi response nahi aya hai meine email kyia tha toh onka ans tha ke process mein hai aur Germany aliens authority se koi response ni aya. But abhi tak husband ke pass koi letter ni gayi hai . email kyia ko v one ho gaya hai. Ab kya kare . Husband ne v pata kyia tha but koi response nahi mila
Yes this delay is caused because of the overload the officials in the Aliens office have right now due to the Ukraine crisis. It would take some time. Ask your husband to contact the Ausländerbehörde in his town and follow up with them. Btw in which town does your husband stay?
It would be helpful but not compulsory.. ultimately the final decision will be taken by the Visa officer at Ausländerbehörde.. you might want to contact them once
My brother's kids were 3 and 5 and his wife booked an appointment (Family reunion for spouse) in her name and take them along. It was accepted. We don't know the age-limit, if any, for the kids to accompany their parents for the visa appointment. You need to check this with VFS or on the Consulate homepage. However, you must fill separate Visa application form for you and your daughter.
Hi, i have heard that u should be married and your marriage should be registered before your spouse student visa approval or else u cannot apply. Is it true??
Additional points:
1) Spouse in Germany has to send "Meldebescheinigung" which is the city registration letter as well.
2) Spouse in Germany can register their partner with their Insurance company (for e.g. TK, AOK) even before the partner is in Germany. Just contact your insurance provider and inform them about the date on which your partner is arriving in Germany. The company will register your partner as your dependent from that date.
**Note:
After submitting the documents, Ragini received a mail after 3 weeks to submit "Verpflichtungserklärung". After I submitted the document, Ragini received visa approval after 2 weeks.

Hey Ajith… how much time will it take for receiving FRV from the time of booking vfs appointment to getting stamped visa?
Very nice and informative video👍🏻
So nice of you😊
Glad that the content was helpful to you
Great video, guys. No other UA-camr has explained it this well. I have many inputs and was wondering how I would be able to send my experience across to others without having to post a video. Great work. 👍🏻 The only thing I would like to say is that, it would have been better if you had mentioned how long it took for you to get the dependent visa.
Thank you for the information and support ... passing on information is one thing but you guys actively helped me with my doubts. I am very thankful to both of you ❤️. Keep up the good work

Hey guys thank you so much for such a informative video. Its really helpful to understand overall process of family reunion visa for students as there is almost no information readily available.
Our pleasure 😊
We understand the pain that a couple/family has to go through because of this and hence, we decided to create this video which addresses these problems.
We are glad that you found this video helpful and hope that you reunite with your spouse at the earliest 😊
Hi Dhanashree, My wife is in Berlin now. I am going to apply for Dependent Visa.
Did you got dependent visa ?
At Rathaus, when my Wife enquired at Reception, they say that Dependent Can't be brought in Student Visa
@@karthikks9976 You can apply for FRV under spouse category if your wife has resident permit for a duration of one year or more(as per my knowledge ). And in case of spouse being student you would need block account for financial reasons. But you can file visa application even if your wife is student.
@@dhanashreepotnis7252 super, thanks.
Can I apply for my daughter also with me ?
I heard many dependent went on their Spouse Student visa.
Thanks a lot. This is so helpful
Congratulations on 1.1k views 🥳
Thank you 😊
Hi thanks for the helpful video ! My husband is currently working and is on blue card and i have a appointment on coming month
can you please clear 2 doubts
1- Do I need to submit my travel or medical insurance ? If i mention my duration of stay 1 year then will they ask for such docs ?
2- what is the demand draft specifically for ? And apart from the detail shown in video do I have to fill any other details there too ?
As you mentioned regarding the change in Euro so just wanted to know bit more on this !! Do i need to enter a amount there or so ?
Very informative to the newbies..trying to be together..great job both of you..blessings..
Glad it was helpful!
Hi !
Thanks a lot for the information.
I had a doubt and asking since I didn't get any information online and you also mentioned that we can do the application if we have a temporary work permit.
My husband has a temporary blue card (Fiktionsbescheinigung) and waiting for his actual blue card but it may take very long. Sometimes 6 months.
I wanted to ask whether with the temporary blue card can I apply for the Spouse Visa?
It would be nice if you could share some light on this.
Very very very good ,👏👏👏
Thank u so much 🙏🙏🙏
We're glad that you liked it
Very informative
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much.. Vert helpful vedio!
I have a few questions, it will be very helpful, if you could clear a few of my doubts.
1. "Verpflichtungserklärung" has to be provided by someone residing in German? Or can be provided by someone living other than Germany if they meet the reqirements of more than 1180euros?
2. What do you meant by you met Visa officer there in Germany? Who is that and how did you contact them?
3. If there is one child, does the amount for blocked amount changed?
4. Do you know if the spouse who is dependant can work when they come to Germany?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Vishakha! Glad that the information was helpful for you 😊
Answering your questions:
1) The person who can provide "Verpflichtungserklärung" has to be a resident of Germany.
2) Every resident in Germany has a Visa officer in the Ausländerbehörde of the city they live in. You can drop a mail to the Ausländerbehörde of your city and your visa officer will reply you. You can find the email id on their website.
3) If the Visa officer says that you have to open a blocked account then yes, the amount will change depending on the number of kids one has. However, your visa officer will let you know the amount that needs to be blocked. We have shared the link of blocked account amount calculation by Expatrio. You can check it for your reference however, the final decision lies in the hands of your visa officer.
4) Yes they can work full-time. When the spouse gets a job, their visa changes to either blue card or work permit depending on their profession and their annual salary.
@@acoupleingermany
Thank you for the valuable information..
Meanwhile when the partner is studying can the spouse work partime?
& can the dependant spouse also get enrolled to some course & start studying if they want?
Its been 8years to our marriage & I am currently in Delhi, will there be a marriage verification? & do I have to pay hefty amount for that?
Did Ragini came in the pandemic period? Has the rules changed in anyway during this..
You're Welcome Vishakha 😊
Answering your questions:
1) Yes your spouse can work part-time or full-time both. Once they receive a full-time position their visa gets converted to a Work permit or Blue card.
2) I am not quite sure about this as I don't know anyone who has done that. Having said this, technically I see no reason why this won't be possible. Better confirm this once with your Visa officer at the Ausländerbehörde.
3) Marriage verification is something that is highly unpredictable. When my wife applied, our marriage was already 3 years old. However, my wife had all her documents like Passport and Aadhar with her new surname. Also, she had added my name in the Passport as Spouse. We are hoping that is the reason why we didn't require Marriage verification. If you can, better renew your Spouse's passport and add your name in the "Spouse name" section. This might help avoid Marriage verification but again we can't guarantee that as it is highly unpredictable. You might also inquire about Apostile from Ministry of External Affairs. Since, we didn't do that, I can't provide much information on that. Sorry
4) Yes Ragini came during Pandemic. The general rules, procedure and documents havent't changed at all. What might change is if you are allowed to visit the Consulate in person or you have to send the docs via post etc. But this highly depends on the Covid cases in India. W.r.t the procedure or documents required, nothing has changed.

Thank you for such a detailed video. You have mentioned that you talked to your visa officer before applying for a visa at Ausländerbehörde so did you take any appointment? If yes, for which category?
2. Currently, I am on my post study work permit visa, and I am working part-time. So, do I need to have a full-time work contract before we apply for a family reunion visa ? Bcz I am also going to show €10000 in my bank account. Will that be enough?
Thanks
Thank you so much for your great effort in making a detailed explanation. I am having one doubt. Please look into it.
During the visa processing stage. Dose the spouse in Germany need to visit the visa office along with the documents ? Or is it necessarily not required? Actually in our case the spouse in Germany got a Mail to submit some documents via email. We are actually curious about what may be the next steps.(Student Dependent visa category)
Thank you for the video,
Do we need arbeitgeberbescheinigung?
My wife has appointment next week.
Also right now we have taken travel insurance ok only, do we need the TK insurance for visa appointment?
Hi Vishal
Thanks for reaching out
Yes if you're working fulltime then Arbeitsbescheinigung is needed.
Travel health insurance is required only when the visa is approved and you are asked to submit Passport for Visa stamping. For the initial visa interview no proof of insurance is needed.
No TK insurance is not required for a visa. That's something your wife has to do after getting the Visa or after coming to Germany (For this, you can refer to the part 2 of this video, "Things to do after getting family reunion visa")
Hy first of all thank you so much for this informative video as well I got information that we need gazette because my wife change his surname and middlename but I have one question there are two type of gazette
1 gazette of india
2gazette of state
So please guide which one I have to do and from where did you do gazette and my wife is from Gujarat so our embassy also in Mumbai only so please suggest me good way
We're glad that our video was helpful to you 😊
W.r.t Gazette, you can apply for the State Gazette i.e in your case Gazette office Gujarat.
@@acoupleingermany gazette is required only if wife's name is changed, right?
Thank you for the information it helped me a lot, I have a question, for me to join my husband in Germany who is on student visa, do I have to maintain the block account or else is my husband supposed to maintain the block account?
Hey. Thank you for making this video. I am living in a dormitory. Do i need look for apartment before my spouse applies for visa or after they get visa?
Thank you so much for making this video. Very Helpful. I have one question. Can you please guide me here?
Question Background:
Right now, I am a Master student of in Germany. Along with masters, I am working in an industry as a work student.
Based on a Family reunion visa, I would like to invite my wife from India to Germany. I have a Residence permit till May 2023. And then I will extend that visa though I am yet to do the master project and master thesis which is part of my masters course (It will take further 1 year 3 months).
Question:
Now, if I apply for my wife's dependent visa in February 2023. On the basis of a family reunion visa, how long can my wife stay with me? As my resident permit will expire on May 2023.
Well Family reunion visa is a National visa which is given for a duration of 6 months or 180 days and hence, if your visa is not valid for at least 180 days or 6 months, the visa of your spouse won't be processed.. This happened with one of our followers recently where the Visa officer wrote an email stating that when the visa of the spouse in Germany will be processed, only then a decision would be made on their application.
So in short, if you apply in Feb, your wife will get a similar reply. So better extend your visa first and then ask your wife to apply.
Thank you guys for the information. This video is very helpful. My Husband is on student visa and I (along with my 10year old kid) will be applying for the visa. Can you please suggest the questions that would be asked during the visa interview? Thanks

Hello :) How long did your Indian marriage certificate take to become legalised?
Can you please explain a bit more in detail about the gazette document (for change in name after marriage). What is the procedure to get it and which concerned authority in India provide this document. Thanks in advance!
Hello, Thanks for the detailed video. If the wedding happened according to court marriage is there still a need of photo album? Mumbai consulate application.
For Court marriage, a Photo Album isn't required because you get married in front of a Judge.. however, to be on a safe side, you can click pictures of signing the form, exchanging ring, garland etc. in the court. You can then print these pictures and add it in a small Album and submit it (if the German Consulate asks for it)
Hello I had a doubt , should we write the room agreement contract (mietervertrag) in both mine and my spouse name or in just my name ? Thanks again for the video 😊
You're welcome 😊
The contract has to be in the name of the spouse living in Germany
Thank you for the detailed info.
Did you carried DD for verification process as well?
If yes how much amount it was? Bcz on the site they have mentioned fees for FRV category varies and this is confusing. If it varies then what is the amnt which we shld mention while making the DD.
Any advice?
Thank you in advance
Glad that the video was helpful to you 😊
No we didn't carry a DD for verification. If verification is needed for your application then, you would receive a mail with the amount and then, you have to draft a new DD and submit it to them.
Our advice is that if possible, at least add the spouse name in your passport. Applying and getting a new passport takes time, we agree, but the amount is quite less as compared to the marriage verification fees. In our case, verification wasn't required and one possible reason that we feel is that the spouse name was mentioned in at least 1 government document (Ragini's passport). But again, that is our perception. We wouldn't guarantee that it would work.

A Couple in Germany thanks buddy. Spouse name is added in each of the passport. Was confused with DD for verification part. Thanks a ton.
A Couple in Germany Within how many days your application got approved? Also did they took the passport at the time of appointment or you need to schedule d stamping appointment again at vfs?
@@dextertyger7075 As per the official website the processing time is 12 weeks however, we received it in roughly 4-5 weeks.
Since it was Corona time, the application got stuck for a few months because the visa offices were not open but once they started, we got the process done fairly quickly.
It depends on a lot of factors like the finance shown, workload at the Ausländerbehörde and the Visa officer as well.
No your passport is not to be submitted at the time of appointment. When your spouse gets visa, they will receive a mail to submit the passport along with travel insurance and tentative date of travel.
Thank you so much for the detailed video I'm a student here, and I would like to invite my wife and kid so when you say get confirmation from the Visa officer is it from the India Visa officer or German visa officer for the blocked account.? please respond
Thank you for the appreciation 😊
It's the Visa officer in Ausländerbehörde.. if you live in a big city, it's highly likely that you don't know the officer. In this case, you can drop a mail to the Ausländerbehörde's email id.
Edit : Recently, we heard that there are some companies like Expatrio and Fintiba that allow opening of blocked account even without the letter from the visa office. You can check on their website or contact the customer service to know more
Thank you for the info. Just one question,can spouse work on family reunion visa?
Yes absolutely.
Spouse can work fulltime or part-time. When they secure a full time position, their visa changes to either Blue card or Work permit (depending on the profession and salary).
Some agent are saying that B2 level is mandetory for family reunion visa & you both guys are telling that A1 is necessary so can you please tell me which is true
Hi, my wife is going to apply for FRV and I have a question related the documents to be sent to her here from Germany. I wanted to ask if the documents have to be sent online as scanned copies or via post. Also, if the copies of documents have to be self attested? It’s bit urgent. Any help will be highly appreciated.
After landing in Germany after how many months we can apply for spouse visa?
You can apply directly.. if you apply within 6 months, Aufenthaltstitel isn't required.. for applications made later than 6 months, Aufenthaltstitel must be provided
Hi. Thanks a lot for all the information. This video is definitely going to help us. I had a query with related to the Visa appointment service. Is there any other way to apply for the appointment since VFS is currently has no slots? It would be really helpful if you can help me with this. Thanks in advance.
Hi Vaishnavi.. thank you so much 😊
Unfortunately no, you can only apply through VFS. Check their slots early in the morning.
For visa appointment, whatsapp at +91 9467636499
Hi can u pls reply if u attested ur marriage certificate..and what is the process for gazette
How you got appointment ? Now a days there is no slots available and they are keeping applications on waiting list.. How was your experience with appointment booking?
I understand that getting an appointment now a days is quite stressful. We had booked a slot online (luckily we got one very quickly) however, if you don't get an online slot then try calling VFS in the morning. Sometimes it happens that people cancel the appointment and if you are lucky, you might get it when you call them. Also drop them an email with all your details requesting an appointment for Family reunion visa.
All the best 👍 Hope you get an appointment soon.
Thanks for Informative video.
Mera ek questions hai....... Germany me rhne vale Spouse ko full time contract matlab samja nhi.....Mera contract to 2 years ka hai....

Hi wonderful video. I have a question. Is it possible for a student without a student job contract can bring his spouse? What are the requirements? How can we show the finances?
Yes it is possible. What finances need to be shown can only be decided by the visa officer in Ausländerbehörde.
So we would advise that you speak with them once before your spouse applies for Visa in India
@@acoupleingermany Thank you so much
thanks a lot Guys ! A lot of intformation ! Just one questions For the obligatory letter, if we have enough savings and funds still it is required ?? Also in worst case if the parents deposit money in the account of spouse who is in Germany, and then if he opens the blocked account in the name of the spouse who wishes to come to Germany, like how we do from India while coming for Masters is that allowed ?
thanks for the video again
Best
This will be decided only by the visa officer at Ausländerbehörde. They will decide what has to be shown as a proof of finance.. Secondly, you cannot open a blocked account without an admit letter or a letter from the visa officer asking you to open a blocked account
@@acoupleingermany How shall a person approach the visa Office at Ausländerbehörde Likw we can go if we have appointment only is there any provision to meet the visa officer for such normal queries ?

@@salilpatwardhan6353 well if you know your officer, the one who handled your Aufenthaltstitel, you can contact him directly. If not then you can check Ausländerbehörde website and drop a mail to the officer who is in charge of your surname. The officers are assigned by surnames which is shown on the Ausländerbehörde website. If not, then you can drop a mail to the general email id on the website
Hey there,can you tell me in how much time did you get the first appointment for documentation submission.?from the date you applied ?
@Shaily Vandita We are assuming that the document submission that you are referring to is Verpflichtungserklärung i.e Obligation letter (shown for finances). We had our appointment on 9th December and we got a mail around mid-January to submit this document. However, since this was in 2020 and the Visa offices were closed for roughly 4-5 months because of Covid, Adwait submitted the document in Germany in July and Ragini got her visa in mid-August. Hope this answers your query 😃
Thanx a lot
Thanks a lot for the great video. As you mentioned that the spouse living in Germany should ask visa officer.. but I live in Bremen. And it's very difficult to ask visa officer. I call them and no one picks up. On website it's mentioned I cannot visit them without appointment.

I wanna go to Germany for MBA so being a married girl with holding student visa in how many days after landing to Germany I can apply for my spouse visa I want ASAP reunion with my spouse.
Some people say you can apply for spouse visa after getting permanent job of 2years but your video give me another hope.
Technically your husband can apply immediately.. if he applies within 6 months of your entry in Germany then the visa stamped on your passport is a sufficient enough proof.. after 6 months, it is mandatory to have an Aufenthaltstitel (Residence permit).. Permanent job, 2 years and all is not true at all
Can I get the obligation letter from one of my friend from USA?
Hello
I have question regarding the language certificate.
For application of spouse visa is it mandatory to show A1 level certificate.

Thanks for Information
I have a Question.
I am doing job in Germany . How much minimum salary mandatory for Family reunion visa?
Hi Kamal,
This depends on the city you live in. In small cities, this should be around Netto (in-hand) 1500-1800 €/month whereas in big cities, it should be between 1800-2300 €/month.
The best option is to contact the Ausländerbehörde in your city and ask them about it
The forms are asking for address so which address should I give my parents or my husband's Indian address..pls help
It's better to provide the address on the Passport or if you are staying at a different place and have a proof like for e.g. Aadhar card then you can provide that address as well
Point 7 , still confused why we say no as we are going to maintain our permanent residence in India . Quite unsure now what you said
What you say is logically right but it doesn't matter. I ticked "No" on the National visa form at the time of my Student visa as well as during the Family reunion visa and both were approved.
So perhaps it doesn't matter because eventually you extend your Visa (by getting Residence permit) after coming to Germany
What if the spouse isn't graduate? Can still he be called based of his experience and finance?
Hello Sir,, I m from bathinda (Punjab).House contract is necessary for family reunion visa

I have my appointment in a week at Mumbai german consulate .Can I submit the DD made from any other state (Bihar) Nationalise bank or it should be only from Mumbai ?
Hi Ankita
Thanks for reaching out.
As per the official website, you can issue DD from any Nationalized bank, nothing is mentioned about the branch. So, a DD from a Nationalized bank from another state's branch should be fine unless and until it's addressed to the Mumbai consulate.
However, better to clarify this once with either VFS or the Consulate
Is there a separate procedure to apply for the work permit or the spouse can simply work on the same visa without applying for work permit separately?
The visa that the Spouse gets has a Work permit so basically the spouse doesn't have to apply for a separate work permit

Hello Mr. Ashok
We are glad that you liked our content and it was helpful to you 😊
To answer your question, yes you can come to Germany on student visa and eventually bring your family here. Also, technically you can bring your wife and kids along with you to Germany but the problem with that is you need to show a lot of money in blocked account right at the start. Also, you need to find a big house for all of you to stay together. This in our opinion is quite tedious. In our opinion, not an advice please do your due diligence, you come to Germany first on student visa and then eventually bring your family after finding a better and a bigger accommodation.
Hope that this information was helpful 😊

The officer asked me to correct the place of birth in my birth certificate and I got it corrected but in new digital birth certificate, my father's name has no surname but my passport has. Will there be any problem? Because my father has no surname in any of his documents so it cannot be corrected.
Mostly not!
They might ask you to submit an affidavit explaining that the two different names belong to the same person.
In worst case if they reject it, they will provide the explanation. So don't worry if that is the case then you can challenge it by providing the Affidavit
Hi how did you get your place of birth corrected?
Hello thanks for the info.
Can I bring my wife and 4 kids to Germany with a "post study work visa"
A post study visa is also called "Job seeking Visa. It is given after completing masters degree program or PhD
Hello! Thanks for reaching out.
Sure you can bring your family while you're on a job seeker visa. However, we wouldn't advise it because naturally, you have to show additional finances to support them and this might make it a bit more tricky to convince your visa officer for the visa.
So to summarize, yes you can apply for their visa. There isn't any restriction that someone on JSV can't bring their family however, you have to take into consideration the finances.
Hope the answer was helpful 🙂

One just can't predict it.. you may drop them an email for follow up but it's hard to predict when they'll respond. Also, the final decision is taken by the visa officer in Germany and not the ones in the Embassy/Consulate.

1) Well you might have got a letter which states that you have got a Blue card. I think you can show that but again I am not sure. Maybe the documents get accepted but perhaps your application stays on hold unless you submit the Blue card copy. However, this depends on the Visa officer at the Ausländerbehörde so it is difficult for anyone to know what might happen.
2) Employer statement is the Arbeitsgeberbescheinigung. You need to collect this document from Ausländerbehörde/Stadtverwaltung, fill it up, get it signed from your company and send it to your spouse. She has to submit this document at the Consulate.
3) This is something that you need to confirm with your Visa officer at the Ausländerbehörde as it depends on them. Generally, in Germany a separate kid's room is required. In my brother's case as well, he had 2 children but he showed just a single Kid's room and that was accepted. Our advice would be that you confirm this with your visa officer.
4) No. German language certificate is not required for spouses of Blue card holders. However, if they already have a certificate then it is better to carry that. A1 is sufficient.
Travel health insurance is not required at the time of appointment. It is required only when the visa is approved and the passport is to be submitted for stamping.
Yes only after your spouse arrives in Germany and you do residence registration, your spouse and kids becomes dependent on your health insurance.
@@acoupleingermany Thank you for the quick response.
1. No, they did not give any letter about bluecard. They said you will get the bluecard in 4 weeks (This is in nov last week). When i ask for fiktionsbescheinigung, she said its not required as you will get in 4 weeks and i have visa valid till feb.
2. As i understand, it is employer certificate. i have that. Thx.
Update: My family got the visa approval in 4 weeks and they gave it only for 3 months validity.
Hello, I came to Germany in 2020 on a student visa. I have started my full time job just recently and also applied for a blue card a week ago. I want to apply for the spouse visa of my wife. Which category should I select for my spouse dependent visa or family reunion visa?
Also, I haven't received my blue card yet. It is still in process. Can I still apply for my wife's visa based on my blue card as I will receive my blue card soon?
Can I show the proof of accommodation and health insurance after her visa gets approved?
For DD, should I make it in Indian currency or in Euro? If in Indian currency then how to manage currency exchange?
Please respond to my queries. 🙏
Can they proceed your visa application on that basis which u mention in comment?
Hi meri file submit ko four month ho gaye but abhi tak koi response nahi aya hai meine email kyia tha toh onka ans tha ke process mein hai aur Germany aliens authority se koi response ni aya. But abhi tak husband ke pass koi letter ni gayi hai . email kyia ko v one ho gaya hai. Ab kya kare . Husband ne v pata kyia tha but koi response nahi mila
Yes this delay is caused because of the overload the officials in the Aliens office have right now due to the Ukraine crisis. It would take some time. Ask your husband to contact the Ausländerbehörde in his town and follow up with them.
Btw in which town does your husband stay?
@@acoupleingermany Weil am rhein mein hai mere husband. Pata karte but koi response nahi mila raha hai. Email v kyia husband ne but koi and ni aya hai
I’m on study visa and wanted to apply for FRV for spouse, I don’t do any student job, still can I apply FRV? Or student job is compulsory?
It would be helpful but not compulsory.. ultimately the final decision will be taken by the Visa officer at Ausländerbehörde.. you might want to contact them once
@@acoupleingermany thanks, really appreciate your quick response.
Kya fiance visa ki liye ielts ki zarorat hoti hai ,germeny visa?
Please reply kray
Hi guys, how can i book appointment for FRV especially for 2 people (me and my daughter ) at same time.
My brother's kids were 3 and 5 and his wife booked an appointment (Family reunion for spouse) in her name and take them along. It was accepted. We don't know the age-limit, if any, for the kids to accompany their parents for the visa appointment. You need to check this with VFS or on the Consulate homepage.
However, you must fill separate Visa application form for you and your daughter.
Hey Nila, what Adwait & Ragini told is right. You only need one appointment in your name and can take the kid along with you.
Ok thanks all..
