Dear readers,

I have read something about the Germany route (or Belgium route) before. I myself have been living in Germany since last year and have my own house.

Who can provide me with the latest status? And how?

Please clear information!

Yours faithfully,

Wim

Notes to the editors: The Belgium route or Germany route is a legal method of circumventing the Dutch rules in the field of family reunification by spending some time alone or together with the husband, wife, partner (demonstrably durable relationship) or registered partner in Belgium to live. A lesser known and newer name for Belgium route is EU route because the Belgium route is not limited to Belgium alone but the entire EU. Because the opposition and bureaucracy in Belgium is increasing, the Germany route is on the rise, where the procedures and formalities are currently much less.

    For Germany, if you want to bring someone to Germany, that person and the person who invites must meet a number of conditions.
    Practically the same as in the Netherlands. In this case, the question is whether you live in Germany permanently or temporarily?
    In that case, integration must take place in Germany, so also the language. See link

    Ausländer, die zu ihrem Ehepartner nach Deutschland ziehen möchten, müssen deshalb grundsätzlich vor der Einreise einfache Deutschkenntnisse nachweisen. Damit will sicherstellen die Bundesrepublik Deutschland, dass diese Menschen von Anfang an am gesellschaftlichen Leben teilnehmen können. Der Sprachnachweis gilt nicht, wenn einer der Ehepartner Staatsangehöriger eines Mitgliedstaates der EU oder der EWR-Staaten Norwegen, Island, Liechtenstein oder der Schweiz ist. Im Falle des Nachzugs zu einem deutschen Ehegatten ist vom Sprachnachweis abzusehen, wenn der Deutsche zuvor von seinem europäischen Freizügigkeitsrecht Gebrauch gemacht hat oder wenn Bemühungen des ausländischen Ehegatten um den Erwerb einfacher Deutschkenntnisse im Ausland nicht möglich, nicht zumutbar o der innerhalb eines Jahres nicht erfolgreich sind.

    Just ask at the ministry or at the town hall of the Kreis

      Not quite right, lived in Germany for 5 years myself and had my Thai wife come to Germany, and without a language course (email from the German embassy in Bangkok) received a permanent visa, printed in Berlin, within 3 weeks. Mind you, this was in December 2011, unless the rules have changed. The Ausländer Stelle also spoke of a language course, but as I mentioned, black and white evidence that this was not the case at the time! Daranasst you must be working and living in Germany and have a certain statement (Freizügischkeit) that gives you the same rights. I got it very easily that way. So I worked and lived in Germany, now in Ireland where my wife has been waiting for a Green Card for 5 months now (I miss Germany) So I know what I'm talking about.

      Via the EU route you fall under the more flexible EU legislation (it used to be stricter, but national legislation has become stricter and stricter, now stricter than EU legislation). For example, there is no integration requirement if you do the EU route, a more flexible income requirement (you must be able to keep your pants on, exact salary and contract duration is not really important) etc. The details can be found at http://www.buitenlandsepartner.nl . Here on ThailandBlog there are also 1 or 2 active members who have done the EU route via Belgium or Germany (a Belgian can then do the “Netherlands route”).

        Dear Rob V. Nowadays, if you want to apply for a short-stay visa at the Dutch embassy in Bangkok, you are obliged to provide your fingerprints since November 14, 2013!
