Am I eligible to move as a dependent without graduation certificates, only with valid work experience certificates in Germany?
27 Jul 2026 · Answered by Edayachandiran Velmurugan · 1 min read
No, having only work experience certificates is usually not enough for a dependent visa in Germany. Immigration authorities typically require the primary applicant to provide graduation certificates as proof of educational qualifications.
If you do not have your graduation certificate, this may make the dependent visa process more difficult.
