To stay with a family member who was granted subsidiary protection in Germany after March 17, 2016, you can apply for a visa for family reunification at the responsible German diplomatic mission abroad.
Members of the nuclear family, i.e. spouses or life partners, parents of children entitled to subsidiary protection (if no parent entitled to custody is in Germany) and unmarried minors are entitled to reunification. Other family members (siblings, uncles and aunts) and parents of adult or married foreign nationals are excluded from reunification.
There must be humanitarian reasons for granting the visa and the subsequent residence permit, which may lie both in the person of the person entitled to subsidiary protection residing in Germany and in the person of the family member wishing to join them. The law contains an exemplary list of humanitarian reasons. In particular, the duration of the separation of the family, the involvement of unmarried minor children, existing dangers to life and limb as well as serious illness, serious disability or serious need for care are taken into account.
When deciding on the entitlement to reunification, the efforts of the person entitled to protection living in Germany to integrate into German society (knowledge of the German language, independent means of subsistence and housing, social commitment, voluntary work) will be positively taken into account.
The decision on the entitlement to join the family is made by the Federal Office of Administration as part of the visa procedure. Every month, 1,000 national visas can be issued for family reunification with beneficiaries of subsidiary protection. Depending on how full the quota is, there may be long waiting times, especially for spouse reunification.
After receiving the visa and arriving in Germany, you must apply for a corresponding residence permit at the immigration authority responsible for your place of residence.

Family reunification with beneficiaries of subsidiary protection is suspended until the end of July 23, 2027.
