I am not sure about the procedures but I share what I know..

My man is in a student visa as well but he is a pHD student and I am in Germany.
For yourself as a student, you have to deposit in the deutshe bank around 8000 euros. Also you will be asked to show a minimum income of 800 euros per month (not sure)so that you can fund your wife. But as you are going to be a master student here, You might have to deposit some amount for her as well depending on how long you stay here in Germany.

I dont think you can take your wife along with you when you arrive in Germany. However, once you are here and when have arranged all the requirements like the arranging the place for stay and so on, then you can start your visa processing for your wife.

To obtain a dependent permit for your wife you'll need to demonstrate that you have 790€ + your rent + health insurance per month (if your wife will be joining you, it is better to choose public health insurance if you are eligible).

Hi,
Even I am in need of a dependent visa. I called the German Embassy today and they flatly refused that a dependent visa cannot be issued on a student visa.

Where you able to obtain a dependent visa? Please let me know if so..
