Family Reunification Philippines – Germany

Living together where the heart feels at home

Filipina and German man are happy about their family reunification

When a German-Philippine couple finally wants to live together in Germany, the family reunification visa is the most important step. This visa allows Filipino spouses to move to Germany permanently and start their life together there. For many couples, it marks the end of a long journey filled with video calls, long-distance challenges, and patience – and at the same time, the beginning of a new chapter.

P2G-Visa supports you from start to finish: from the first consultation to the complete preparation of all documents, all the way to the successful issuance of the visa. We know what the embassy focuses on – and how to avoid common mistakes.

What is the Family Reunification Visa?

ChatGPT:

The family reunification visa is a national visa (Type D) that allows entry into Germany and permanent residence. It is required if you are already married and want to continue your life together in Germany.

The application is usually submitted at the German Embassy in Manila once the marriage has been officially confirmed. After entering Germany, the visa is converted into a residence permit.

This visa differs from a visitor or marriage visa in that it is not limited in time. Its purpose is permanent cohabitation – which is why careful preparation is especially important.

03

Requirements for the Family Reunification Visa

In order for the visa to be granted, certain basic requirements must be met. The key points are:

  • Valid marriage certificate (e.g., from Denmark or the Philippines, recognized by German authorities)

  • A1 certificate as proof of basic German language skills (for Filipino applicants)

  • Proof of a shared residence in Germany

  • Valid passport and complete application documents

Financial proof is not required if the German partner is a citizen. In other cases – for example, if the partner only holds a residence permit – additional proof may be requested.
