Foreigners (German+Filipino) seeking advice on moving to Germany

Marrying in Singapore is the easiest and most straightforward method.
(You don't need to be resident - anybody can marry in Singapore!)
Then get the marriage certificate legalised by the German embassy, and apply for a family reunion visa to move to Germany together.
I have done the same and it was easy. (Dealing with German officialdom after our move was the more difficult part - it took three months to get a work permit for my wife!)

Hi beppi, I was hoping to get some of your insight as I've seen your useful posts here. Thanks for that, I was also thinking it may be the most convenient way. Though being on a Filipino passport is another story 

3 months for your wife to get her work permit is good news!  I would think that's quick already.  Can I ask if she was given a residence permit first or is that work permit acting as residence permit?

Thanks a lot!

First you need to apply for a family reunion visa at the embassy. Since this is processed by the local authorities of the town you want to move to in Germany, this will also take time (three months in our case).
Then you move to Germany, where you need to register at the town council and apply for a residence permit at the foreigner office (Ausländerbehörde). This took 2.5 months and a lot of effort in our case.
Then you apply for a work permit at the labour agency (Arbeitsamt). This took 1-2 weeks in our case.

(I will ask the moderators to move this thread to the Germany forum, since it's more relevant there.)

Ok beppi! I wasn't sure which country forum to place it so I decided to post on my current residence.
I'll read more on the process at this point for now and keep this forum. This is really helpful!

Moved to the Germany forum.
