Applying for a residence permit for parents to join a minor foreigner
Description
As the parent of a foreign minor, you can obtain a residence permit if you come from a country outside the EU or eea and your child is a national of a country outside the EU and EEA.
In addition, you should want to establish or continue a family partnership with the child in Germany (a family cohabitation usually exists if you live with the child in a common apartment).
Furthermore, the child living in Germany should
- a residence permit as a resettlement refugee, recognised person entitled to asylum or refugee, or
- a settlement permit for humanitarian, political or international law reasons
and your presence in Germany is required because no other parent with custody is in Germany.
The residence permit for parents to join a minor child is a temporary residence permit. It is issued for the period of validity of the residence permit of the minor child in Germany. If the residence permit of your minor child living in Germany is valid for less than one year, your residence permit will also be issued for this shorter period.
Under certain circumstances, the Foreigners' Registration Office may oblige you to participate in an integration course. This will then be noted on your residence permit.
- You have a recognized and valid passport or passport substitute and, if necessary for entry - a dedicated visa.
- Your child has not yet reached the age of 18.
- Your child is staying in Germany unaccompanied by a parent with custody.
- Your child has a residence permit as a resettlement refugee, a recognised person entitled to asylum or a recognised refugee or a settlement permit for humanitarian, political or international law reasons.
- There is no interest in expulsion against you.
- Your stay does not endanger or adversely affect the interests of the Federal Republic of Germany.
- Valid passport or passport replacement
- Current biometric photo
- Visa, as far as this was necessary for entry
- Proof of custody of the child to whom the reunification is to take place
- Birth certificate of the minor child to whom the reunification is to take place

In individual cases, the Foreigners' Registration Office may request further documents.
