Family Track · India → Germany
Income gates. Housing thresholds. Sponsor-permit dependency. The structural conditions that determine reunification — and the points where they break.
12 m² per person
Housing space gate (Wohnraum) for reunification approval
A1 before entry
Spouse language gate. Exceptions apply per sponsor permit type.
§§27–30 / §31
Legal basis — Familiennachzug & eigenständiges Aufenthaltsrecht
Family residence is dependency-based: the dependent’s status is bound to the sponsor’s permit, income, and housing. Each phase has its own gates, its own dependencies, its own failure modes.
Sponsor permit verification, A1 language gate, income sufficiency proof, housing space proof, visa application. Conditions evaluated together — one failure blocks the entire reunification.
Anmeldung, residence permit issuance, integration obligations, dependency continuity. Status holds against the sponsor’s active permit and ongoing income/housing conditions.
After 3 years of marriage in Germany: eigenständiges Aufenthaltsrecht (§31). Path to Niederlassungserlaubnis after qualifying years. Separation from sponsor permit possible.
The Family path moves through six gates. Each gate has its own conditions, dependencies, and trigger consequences.
Conditions, thresholds, and trigger consequences per gate are documented in Module 1 / Matrix — included in Family Access.
Failure on the Family path tends to fall into three structural categories. Each category has its own recovery procedure — or no recovery at all.
Category 1
The sponsor’s permit ends, the marriage ends, or the household structure changes. The dependent permit may collapse or convert depending on duration and conditions.
Category 2
Income falls below the sufficiency baseline, or housing no longer meets the space requirement. Triggers reassessment at next renewal and may block extension.
Category 3
Reunification denied at visa stage or residence basis collapses without independence path. Recovery requires new legal basis — not document resubmission.
Twelve documented failure scenarios — with cause, trigger, and recovery path — are inside Module 2 / Scenarios.
Four content modules. Each maps a different layer of the Family track — from initial conditions to long-term independence. Updated against current 2026 thresholds.
Module 1 / Matrix
A complete map of the Family reunification requirements across three phases. Each row is a condition, with thresholds, legal basis, and trigger consequences.
Module 2 / Scenarios
Each scenario classified by sensitivity (HIGH / MEDIUM-HIGH / MEDIUM) with the structural cause, immediate trigger, and resolution path or status loss.
Module 3 / Renewal Pack
Quick reference for the 90 / 60 / 30 / 7 day windows before expiration, plus structured guidance for the transition into independence or settlement.
Module 4 / Transition Map
A structural map of the Family residence lifecycle — from entry to independence — with the legal basis, key thresholds, and transition triggers per phase.
Common questions about Family Access — what it covers, how it works, and what stays current.
Four content modules: Matrix (eligibility & gate conditions), Scenarios (12 documented failure cases), Renewal Pack (T-90/T-60/T-30/T-7 timeline + after-track guidance), and Transition Map (six-phase residence model). All scoped to the Family track from India to Germany.
No. bay.in provides structural information — legal references, thresholds, conditions, and trigger consequences as documented in the Aufenthaltsgesetz and current administrative practice. We do not represent applicants and do not provide individual case advice. For case-specific guidance, consult a licensed German Rechtsanwalt.
All thresholds are set against the current 2026 figures (income sufficiency, housing space, A1 gate). Legal references point to the Aufenthaltsgesetz as in force. When figures or rules change, the affected modules are updated — included in your year of access.
12 months from purchase. One-time payment, no auto-renewal, no subscription. After 12 months, access ends unless you renew — you decide.
Yes. Each track is purchased separately, or you can choose Full Access for all three plus cross-track content. If you start with Family and later want Study or Work, you can purchase that track separately at the price valid at that time.
Indian families joining a sponsor in Germany — spouses, children, and parents under the conditions of §§27–30 AufenthG. The content assumes no prior knowledge of German residence law but does not simplify the structure. If you want clarity before commitment, this is built for you.
As one of our first members, you get access at our lowest-ever price — guaranteed.
When we raise prices (and we will), your plan stays locked at what you paid today.
