Ciao a tutti,
Sto lottando così tanto con informazioni contrastanti online e ho pensato di postarle qui.
La situazione è che io (cittadino britannico) ho intenzione di raggiungere presto mio marito tedesco in Germania. Capisco che posso richiedere il permesso di soggiorno in Germania e non ho bisogno di un visto per entrare, ma non mi è chiaro se questa sia la strada migliore.
Potrei anche richiedere un visto D all’ambasciata a Londra:
https://uk.diplo.de/uk-en/02/visa/joining-german-spouse-2448194
“Tieni presente che puoi iniziare a lavorare solo dopo che ti è stato rilasciato un permesso di soggiorno che autorizza esplicitamente tale lavoro. Puoi anche scegliere di richiedere un visto prima del viaggio, consentendo effettivamente l’occupazione dal primo giorno di validità del visto. “
Ora, questo mi fa pensare che questa sia la decisione migliore se potrò accettare un lavoro una volta arrivato. Ma quando faccio ulteriori ricerche online/leggo altri post su Reddit a riguardo, non è chiaro se sia garantito che questo visto consenta di lavorare prima di ottenere il permesso.
Dato che non sto richiedendo il visto per motivi di lavoro, ma per motivi familiari, è possibile che all’arrivo non riesca comunque a lavorare?
Non voglio davvero finire ad aspettare mesi senza lavoro in Germania. Ho contattato l’ambasciata a riguardo e continuano a indirizzarmi al sito web.
Se qualcuno ha una risposta a questo proposito o ha esperienza con un coniuge in Germania, mi piacerebbe sentire la tua opinione.
Grazie in anticipo.

If you’re already married and your husband is German, you can apply for your family reunification permit when you land in Germany. Look at the requirements of your local ABH document wise, and prepare to wait for your Aufenthaltstitel before you can start or find work. Before that you’re there purely on the 90 day Schengen agreement and as far as I’m aware that gives no rights to work.
If you’re lucky and their processing is fast (doubt it around Christmas time and depends on which ABH you’re in) you’ll get your card within 3 months. From the second you officially apply for your card, you can stay in Germany past the 90 days until you get your answer from them.
I believe you need to apply for a family reunification visa in the UK, which will grant you working permission. You need A1 German though: [https://www.bamf.de/EN/Themen/MigrationAufenthalt/ZuwandererDrittstaaten/Familie/NachzugZuDeutschen/nachzug-zu-deutschen-node.html](https://www.bamf.de/EN/Themen/MigrationAufenthalt/ZuwandererDrittstaaten/Familie/NachzugZuDeutschen/nachzug-zu-deutschen-node.html)
For a D-visa to include the work permit you would have to apply for work purpose and need a job offer for your application. You could try a “chance card” (which is a d-visa specifically to search for an employment within the country) but that has additional different requirements to it. Specifically you need a recognized vocational education or specialized if that falls under the “skilled worker” requirement as well proof of subsistence and usually a certified B1 German language skill.
All residency permits automatically include a work permit unless the specific residency permit has additional restrictions. The specific restrictions need to be spelled out for the residency permit in question. Family reunion has no work restrictions.
Thus entering Germany on a Schengen D visa for family reunion means unrestricted work from day one of entry.
Problem seems to be getting a visa appointment at the London embassy. Many have reported difficulties on that corner. To the point that couples preferred to live together in Germany even with money being tight rather than being separated for lack of an appointment.
Family reunification visa, as others have said. They changed the rules so you may be required to learn German but there are some exceptions. I moved to Germany from the UK. Good luck with your move. Let me know if you want any more advice.
I would suggest to definitely apply for a visa. The embassy then handles it AND informs the local immigration office about your coming. Afaik it’s now also possible to do it online.
The route is typically that you apply for a family reunion visa (Familiennachzug), this takes some time. When entering Germany you need to register your residency and wait for the permit. Depending on the local authority, this can take a while, so I suggest doing as much as possible in advance. Still, it can take a while for the permit, simply because some immigration authorities have too much work to do. Afaik Berlin has a very efficient immigration office, others doesn’t.
Also take a look at the website of the local immigration office, some have online services to ease the permit application and often also appointments.
