As a third-country national with a residence permit for family reunification with a German spouse or civil partner, you can apply to extend your residence permit as long as your marriage or civil partnership continues.
As the spouse or partner of a German citizen, you can have your residence permit issued for family reunification extended if you wish to continue living together with your partner in Germany.
The same requirements must be met and the same documents submitted for the extension of the residence permit as for the initial issue of the residence permit.
If your residence permit is extended, you are still entitled to pursue gainful employment.
