Family Reunification Conditions for Afghans
I am Sayed an Afghan refugee from Iran.
My brother is currently living in Germany with his family and he works in a Company. My question is, if I can apply for family Reunification through my brother? I have also worked for GIZ projects in Afghanistan and have sufficient documentation to prove my claim.
I appreciate you if you can reply my message at your earliest convenience.
Best Regards,
Jawad

Hello @jawad1360 , thank you for your question.
Unfortunately, family reunification only applies to the immediate family such as underage children or spouses. So you cannot come to Germany through this family reunification process.
You can read more here: https://handbookgermany.de/en/rights-laws/family-reunification-for-immi…
Other ways to come to Germany would be to apply for a so called humanitarian visa with your employer the GIZ, you can find information how to do this here: https://handbookgermany.de/fa/afghanistan-info.html Please note that the regulations who receives this visa is quite strict. For example if you has a subcontract the GIZ is likely to refuse the application
Lastly, you can also try and come to Germany through receiving a visa: https://handbookgermany.de/en/rights-laws/immigration.html
I hope you will soon be able to greet your brother in Germany
Best wishes Yara
