Can I go to Germany if I have a Schengen ban? [closed]

I violated some rules in Switzerland and they banned me from all Schengen countries for 12 years.

I have heard that if I get married and apply for family reunion the ban will be removed. Is this true?

I want to go to Germany for a family reunion.

The German government can allow you into Germany even if the other Schengen states will refuse you a visa. But that does not mean it will happen.

Much depends on your nationality and the nationality of your spouse. A family reunion process can take years, and if the spouse is not a German citizen there are more conditions to consider.

As the comments suggest, find a German lawyer who specializes in immigration law.
