To be eligible for a Germany Dependent (Family Reunion) Visa, the applicant must be an immediate family member, typically a spouse, registered partner, or child under 18—of someone legally residing in Germany. The sponsor must hold a valid residence permit, permanent residency, or be a German/EU citizen. Spouses are usually required to demonstrate basic German language skills (A1 level) unless exempt (e.g., if the sponsor is an EU Blue Card holder). The sponsor must also prove sufficient income and adequate housing to support the dependent. All applicants must meet health insurance and security clearance requirements.
