HI Expat.com  Friends,

I will like to know is there is some one here who can give me some tips to live in Germany with my 2 kids. Renting a house and insurance is not a problem for me the only thing is leaving my Country Suriname to come there as a NON-EU citizen.
Iam every year in the Europe but do not know what to do, can some one help me out.

To live in Germany as a non-EU-citizen you need a valid residence visa.
The most common such visa are for work (you need to find a job first!) or family reunion (you need to be married to a German citizen or long-term resident), but there are also others, e.g. for asylum seekers.
Maybe you can contact your nearest German embassy to find out which one is applicable for your situation.
Once you have a residence visa, your (minor) kids can join as dependants.

I am afraid there is no visa type for that. But please consult the embassy, they might know a way!
In any case residence visa usually have to be renewed yearly.
