Also wrt to German nationals living abroad for so long, have they not lost their German nationality by taking up another? - Germany does not allow dual nationality - worth checking....
The visa is called 'Family Reunification Permit'. When my wife applied for one to come from Argentina to Germany, it was free of charge, it took a few weeks to be issued, the necessary documents were her passport, our marriage certificate with a German translation, and a couple of photos. There is no language requirement for entering the country as the spouse of a German citizen; to apply for permanent residence in Germany, however, usually possible after 3 years of residence as a spouse of a German citizen, certain knowledge of language, history and culture will have to be demonstrated.dphillipsd wrote:Could anyone please advise on the type of visa required of a spouse of a German national seeking to relocate permanently to Germany - both spouse and the German national have resided outside the EU for the past 50 years.
