Methods of settling in Germany

1. Want to settle in Germany, is there any change in its immigration policy?

A: When it comes to immigration, many people think of the United States, Canada and Australia first, while Europe is a bit inferior in this respect. This is mainly related to the small size of European countries. Local residents feel that foreigners come to Europe only for tourism, not as an ideal settlement, so they are somewhat exclusive. Mr Howard, a senior immigration expert of Shanghai Qianjin Private Entry and Exit Service Co., Ltd., pointed out that with the changes of German immigration policy in recent years, the advantages of settling in Germany are obvious, and the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

In recent years, the immigration policies of European countries, taking Germany as an example, have changed. For example, the time for obtaining a green card has been shortened, and there are fewer restrictions on new immigrants. Moreover, in order to get rid of the negative image of xenophobia, Germany has made efforts to gain an advantage in introducing foreign talents, and adopted measures such as setting a low threshold and treating immigrants equally, which is commendable in other European countries.

Living in Germany can not only enjoy many benefits comparable to those of the United States, Canada and Australia, but also children don't have to pay expensive education fees, because Germany is free from primary school to university graduate students, which is enough to attract many immigrants who are interested in moving to western countries.

As Germany is one of the core members of the European Union, with a German green card, you can travel freely between all EU countries. If a single European country has a small area and a limited market, there is no need to worry about doing business within the whole EU.

In the relations with other major industrial countries in Europe, China and Germany have very close cooperation in all aspects, including trade. Moreover, settling in Germany is not just about being allowed to stay in Germany. Once you get a green card, you can travel freely between China and Germany and expand your domestic business to the European continent.

Experts pointed out that at present, the advantages of settling in Germany far outweigh the disadvantages. When many people are still fascinated by those traditional immigrant countries, they can try to turn around and pay more attention to Germany.

Recently, I heard that Germany can invest in immigration, and the whole family with 250,000 RMB can move to Germany. I don't know if you have heard of it, thank you!

A: It cost 25,000 euros (about 250,000 RMB) to immigrate to Germany, which is true, but it is too late now. Around 2000, a large number of Germans came to China in this way, mainly in the former East Germany. At that time, the idea of the German government was to let rich people set up companies in Germany to promote the economy of Germany (mainly East Germany). However, I didn't expect smart China people to open many shell companies. When they came to Germany, they didn't really do business, and of course they didn't have the money to pay taxes, let alone promote the German economy. Now the German government has realized this, and since last year, it has sorted out these companies and cancelled all the ones with bad benefits.

It seems that it is not a good time for the landlord to be such an immigrant at this time. Unless you have good working experience in China, you can convince the people in the Immigration Bureau that you have the ability to bring economic benefits to the German government.

Excuse me, can I only apply for a work visa to Germany for up to 6 months in China? Longer work visas need to be processed at the German Immigration Office. Is that so?

Six months is enough. For a longer visa, you need a certificate issued by a German employer, and go to the immigration office when the visa is about to expire after working in Germany.

4. What are the popular immigrant cities in Germany?

A: It's better to go to the south and live comfortably. Most northern cities are industrial cities or port cities. Needless to say, the living conditions in the east are certainly not as good as those in other places.

Therefore, the first choice is Munich's specialty: Munich sausage, and Oktoberfest Festival.

Other Dusseldorfs have Seldorf (the fashion capital), and Berlin is not bad.

I have studied and graduated in Germany, and I want to work in Germany, so how can I immigrate to Germany? Help me, thank you.

A: Germany is not an immigrant country. There is no such thing as "immigration", but you can get permanent residency.

After graduation, you can get a one-year visa according to the current residence law, and you can find a job related to your major within this year. If you have a job, you have to change your original visa into a work visa. From the time you get a new work visa, you can apply for permanent residence if you have lived and worked in Germany continuously and steadily for five years and intend to stay like this.

The conditions for permanent residence are that you have lived in Germany for more than five years (generally referring to long-term visa types such as work visas), have a stable income, have enough housing space, have no criminal record, and speak German.

Now the road to running your own company is basically blocked. Because the current requirement is to invest 6.5438+0 million euros to solve many standards that ordinary people can't reach, such as ten jobs. Besides, being a boss in Germany is not so easy. Now that I have graduated, it should still be feasible to find a job.

6. China's children work in Germany and have long-term residency. Can parents immigrate to live together?

A: No, Germany is not an immigrant country, so almost only those who have worked here for five years can obtain permanent residency. If parents can only visit relatives in Germany as relatives, they can stay for three months at a time, even if the child gets German citizenship. And unlike North America or Australia, the German visa for visiting relatives cannot be extended here. If you want to stay in Germany, you can only go back and apply again.
