Your minor children usually under 18 can join you. In certain cases, adult dependent children may also be considered.
In exceptional cases, dependent parents or parents-in-law may be eligible. This is subject to specific conditions and must be assessed individually.
Important Note
Eligibility depends on your nationality, residence status, family relationship and other individual factors. We recommend a personalised counselling session to assess your specific case.
Additionally, processing times and procedural steps can vary depending on your local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) and country of application.
Ensuring all documentation is accurately prepared beforehand helps prevent unnecessary delays during the official visa stamping process.
