Please NLs .. is there anyone here who's applying or had applied for Family Reunion visa in German embassy, whose spouse has an EU pass, but currently lives in Germany??

The process after submitting your application doesn't take that long..

My parents are permanent residents in Italy. I am a 21 year old fresh graduate. How easy do you think it will be for me to secure a family unification visa?

Hello everyone, can some who is applying for family reunion visa to meet spouse residing in Germany post the requisite documents check list for this category of visa. I have ransacked all the german missions website and still can't it. Please help me out. Thanks

Hello guys,

I'll like to why the italy VFS appointment portal is unavailable from July-September.

Is it unavailable because of COVID19 or is it because appointment dates on these months are full?

Sebi Italy VFS was suppose to be opened since July 1st.

Then don't take my word for it, cos my case seems different from yours.
But from why I hear, your husband's work should have to cover his insurance too. He's meant to ask the cotnact person in the company he'll be Working in.

Thanks in our case its a family unification as we're all going together although my husband's job will be providing accommodation. As for health insurance is it regulat travel insurance? whats the cost? He doesnt have a fisical code number yet as he will just be arriving with us.

I went there for legalization of my birth certificate last week Tuesday(by appointment) and will be going back to collect my documents sometime this week(without appointment). They at first refused to give me an appointment, but I replied with a mail stating that I had my marriage certificate submitted for registration and legalization since March and I need to collect it back. That was when I got an appointment.

So I think they are tending to vv important cases they had on their hands before COVID19

Ujules:
I sent them a mail last week Tuesday for enquiry of legalization fee and another mail today being Monday 20th for appointment.

This morning, they responded to the one of last week and I haven’t gotten a response for the appointment.

It's just me going. My husband is already there. Proof of accomdation requires renting a house and putting it in your name. And your husband needs a bank account with money to prove that your husband can habour you for a good amount of time. Also you'll health insurance , but if your husband has a fisical code number then that shouldn't be a problem.

I am also here to answer questions to anyone who needs info on family reunion visa to Italy.

I’ll be sharing my process here up till when I get the visa and a stay. Cos I never really saw a thread of Italian family reunion here.



*Fingers crossed*

I believe she might be right. But after going through the German consulate website, the procedure to getting German family reunification visa is quite long, I’ll have to wait till next year June to get an appointment, considering I have already legalized my marriage & birth certificate @ the Italian consulate, all the stress I went through to get these things done.

Anyway, my husband says he’ll rather rent a house in Italy and renewing His insurance card and opening a new bank account that after all there are some Italian folks who work in Switzerland and return back to Italy during the weekend.

Charleshafo:
Yes, she's right, the best embassy you can apply at is Germany embassy. Try to look for the tourist visa requirements on their embassy site.

[b][/b]Can we have all Italy tourists & Family reunion visa applicants gather thread here.

I have been in the process of reuniting with my husband since February. Luckily after my first appointment in March was cancelled due to corona virus, I got a new appointment on 14th July.

* I’ll skip the part where the lady who attended to me in the consulate was very hostile towards me*

She then says that my visa application should be made through the German embassy rather than Italian embassy, because my husband resides in Germany currently.

I’ll rather I apply In the country my husband has citizenship (Italy) than a country he’s just residing (Germany). He’s been in Germany for 6 years now and hasn’t been in Italy in 4 years.

Does anybody know how to get through this?

Guys who has done family reunion visa to Italy? How did you translate your documents (Marriage cert. and birth certificate) to Italian?? And how do I legalize my documents?

Please help!!
