[quote=GUESTMAHBUBULALAM,463726]Yes, you can marry a German citizen as a tiusort I was in Germany on vacation in August 98 and married a German citizen in Nov 98. I was granted temporary residence and  permanent work permit. With a temporary residence, you must report to the  Auslandersbehoerde' with proof that you are still married; after the first year and then again after two years. I was granted permanent residence after three years of residing in Germany. The only problem is the paper work make sure you have all the necessary documents ie; birth certificate (which must be certified by the German Consulate or Embassy in your home country cost circa 20 Canadian dollars), if you've been married and divorced    you'll have to have a divorce certificate that must be translated into German by a state approved translator this will cost you about 100 Euro. Unfortunately, I can't remember all the documents you'll have to provide. It would be a good idea to check with the German Consulate or Embassy and get all the details. Once you have all the required documents (Must be translated into German by a state approved translator), you will have to go to the Standesamt and submit the paper work, if anything is missing, they tell you what you need (we made four trips to the Standesamt before everything was finished). Once everything is done you'll make an appointment to get married, choose your  Buch die Familie'. If you are from a country that German is not the official language you be appointed a translator at the marriage ceremony. Oh, and seeing this is Germany everything costs money   the ceremony, the Standesamt official, the translator, the family book and the room you are married in (costs for light and heating are included in the room fee). You can also get married in a church which is even more complicated, a church wedding is not legal, once your married in the Standesamt you can have a church marriage. I'm not sure if you can have a church wedding before the marriage at the Standesamt.Remember, you are only allowed to stay in Germany for a maximum of three months with out a visa. To get a 6 month visa, you'll have to apply for it before you travel to Germany.[/quote]
