Germany Eases Immigration for Spouses of EU Citizens
The German government has confirmed that spouses of EU citizens who are already settled in Germany can move there freely, provided they hold citizenship from an EU or EFTA member state. This guidance clarifies that when an EU citizen establishes residency in Germany and wishes to bring their spouse, no specific residence permit is required.
The spouse is entitled to live and work in Germany without any restrictions. This policy encompasses citizens from all 27 European Union member states and includes citizens from the four European Free Trade Association (EFTA) member states: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
In total, this policy covers 31 nationalities whose holders can join an EU citizen spouse in Germany without navigating the standard residence permit process.
