I'm currently living in Germany under Aufenthaltstitel 24. I'm a Pakistani citizen with a Ukrainian permanent residence permit. I got married after the war in Pakistan. My wife is in Pakistan. Is there any difference in process for family reunification? Or all the requirements are same as other Aufenthaltstitel? Like accomodation, salary etc.

Hi @Family96

The rules are not the same for people with paragraph 24. Family reunification is only allowed in certain very specific cases. The family members must have become separated due to the war and the family member outside the EU must themselves be in need of protection.

You can read this rule in paragraph 29, section 4 of the Aufenthaltsgesetz (in English via online translation):

In your case it does not apply, as you married after the war started and presumably did not live together in Ukraine before the war.

If you wish to bring your wife to Germany, you will have to change your permit, for example to one for skilled workers (paragraph 18a or 18b). Then it is possible with the standard requirements of salary and accommodation.

Best,
