How can i get a visa for Germany? I'm an American citizen and my wife is German with a green card.?

All persons who wish to stay in Germany for more than 90 days are required to obtain a residence permit.

Except for rare instances, you have to submit your application in person. Upon submission of all required documents the application will be forwarded to the Aliens' Office (AuslÃ¤nderamt) competent for your intended place of residence in Germany. Applications take about 1-3 months to be processed. After the application has been approved by the Aliens' Office the Consulate will issue a residence permit in the form of a visa. The Aliens' Office requires all residence permit holders to register upon their first arrival. A final residence permit will be granted in German after arrival.

Required Documents

- two fully completed application forms and required declaration in duplicate

- two passport photographs

- valid passport and one copy

- original or certified copy of marriage certificate incl.Apostille

- original or certified copy of passport of spouse holding either a German or EU passport or a residence permit for Germany

- fee: visa is free of charge; $15,- for mailing the passport back once the visa is ready (payable by cash or money order only)

Please note: In individual cases, you may be required to provide additional documents.

In case your wife should take up any employment, you will get your residence visa and work permit automatically.

First get a passport so you can travel abroad. As a U.S. citizen you can go to Germany without a visa, but if you stay for more than 90 days you need to get one. Germany will allow you to apply for the visa after arriving there, but my advice is to have the paperwork in order before commiting to a move. Having a German spouse will smooth the way. For more info, check out the German embassy web site. Good luck with your move.

You go to the German consulate and you apply for a visa. Ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing.
