The Family Reunion Visa lets spouses and partners join a relative already living in Germany. For most applicants the language requirement is a Goethe A1 certificate — proof you can manage basic everyday German on arrival.
A1 is achievable in a focused few weeks, which is why this is often someone's first, time-pressured German goal. We run accelerated and 1-on-1 A1 batches built around the visa deadline.
Goethe A1 is the usual hard requirement; many learners continue to B1 after arrival.
