The first knowledge point of handling German immigration in 2020

It is understood that the recently issued immigration law points out that if you have a professional level and technical background, you can apply for a work immigrant visa to apply for German immigration. For those who have graduated from domestic or adult education, they are very optimistic about applying for German work immigrants.

For domestic immigrants, talents majoring in IT and mechanical engineering can benefit from the new policy, because these are two fields that are very scarce in Germany at present, with very optimistic employment prospects and no university degree in related fields. Only people with a bachelor's degree can apply for a work immigrant visa in Germany. The German Labor Bureau is not particularly strict with China employees who apply for work visas, and can quickly approve the relevant documents after they are completed.

Compared with emigrating to Britain, Canada and the United States, the German immigration policy is relatively loose, and it is relatively simple for China people to apply for German immigration, which makes many talents join Germany. The security, convenience and welfare of the whole society provided by the German government can provide a better living environment for middle-class families. The new immigration policy will provide employment opportunities in Germany, especially for those who have working experience and industrial qualifications in European enterprises in China but have no higher education background. They will have a better life in Germany.

I heard that 1 Europe can register a company. Why do you have to register a limited liability company?

1 euro company refers to the company form such as UG. The German government set up UG mainly to lower the threshold of starting a company and encourage investment and entrepreneurship, but UG should eventually be transformed into GmbH or other company forms. It should be noted that UG must draw 25% of the annual profit as capital reserve, which cannot be used for other purposes, and can only be used to make up for losses or increase capital until the reserve reaches 25,000 euros.

In addition, when talking about business with customers or partners, if the company is in the form of UG, it will also be considered by the other party that the company's payment ability is limited. Therefore, it is recommended to register a limited liability company with sufficient funds.
