Procedure of family reunification

Asadullah Khan • 18 September 2023

Dear Sir, 

I have resedence permit in Germany along with my family and am living here since 10 years. My brother were working with foreigns (NATO and International living camps of foreigns) there.  Since my brother and his sons were living at Afghanistan and after coming of Taliban, he left the country along with his family members and went to third country due to security risk to him and his family.  I submit application here in Germany for saving their lives and bring them to Germany. Now they have been recieved appointment from VFS in third country for submission of visa application. The problem is that only the parents have passports and their children dont have it. Else all of you know the issue of passport in afghanistan that it is not possible to get the passport easily. Can anyone guide me, what should they do? How they submit the visa application without passport? Which documents they need to submit?

Regards

Dear Asadullah Khan, thank you for reaching out to us. Indeed, many Afghans are struggling to get passports, we also have received questions about this issue from other community members. It is often very difficult if the children did not have any passports before. Unfortunately, to come to Germany also the children should have a passport.
.
In your case I would suggest that you contact your local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) and ask what proof they need to make an exception. Usually, your brother’s family will need to prove that it is not possible to receive a passport. They need to show extensive documentation of all the efforts they have made to receive a passport and show that it is not possible. Then the local immigration office will decide if an exception can be made.
If you need help with this process, I can search for a migration counselling centre near you. Please let me know the city and the postcode you are staying in.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
I hope that your brothers family can soon receive the passports.
Best wishes
