Germany Student visa - Dependents & family
10 questions
Expert Answers
Is it true that Germany only allows dependent visas after getting a full-time work permit and not with a student visa?
→Are there universities or countries with scholarships and moderate living expenses suitable for me and my kid in Germany for a Master's?
→Can international students in Germany realistically bring an ailing parent to live with them after finishing their masters?
→Realistically, no, not right after graduation. You must first hold a skilled worker or Blue Card job, prove a high income, and buy costly private health insurance for your parent. The alternative hardship route only works if care is provably unavailable anywhere in your home country, which is rare.
Can my spouse work in Germany on my Blue Card?
→Yes. The EU Blue Card gives your spouse the right to work in Germany immediately after joining you. There is no German language requirement and no limit on the type of work. This is one of the strongest family benefits of the Blue Card route for software engineers.
