1. What are the advantages of German investment immigrants?

The advantages of German investment immigrants can be summarized as follows: the least risk, the shortest cycle, the least restrictions and the greatest benefits.

(1) The investment is small and the risk is zero. German investment immigrants are the least among all countries. Only one company needs to be registered, with a minimum registered capital of 25,000 euros (equivalent to about 250,000 yuan). It is more advantageous that two shareholders can jointly contribute capital. After you successfully obtain a German visa, you will bring the registered capital to Germany. After the establishment of the company, the capital can be freely controlled, so the capital risk is zero.

(2) Short processing cycle. As long as you actively cooperate, complete the document preparation and related matters in time, and attend the necessary procedures as required, it will only take 3-6 months to complete.

(3) There are few requirements for applicants, no clear requirements for age, education and language, and no requirements for "immigration supervision".

(4) Strong flexibility. If two people jointly contribute to set up a company, both families can obtain the right of abode in Germany.

(5) Located in the center of Europe, Germany is the country with the largest population and the strongest economic strength in the European Union, the second largest trading country in the world and China's trading partner in Europe. By 20 10, the total trade volume between Germany and China is expected to double, exceeding10 billion euros. This huge business opportunity will enable more and more business people to do business in Germany and easily expand to the whole of Europe to make profits.

2. What are the basic conditions for German investment immigrants?

Legally speaking, Germany's investment immigration policy has no special requirements for applicants. You only need to invest 25,000 euros to register a company to apply for investment immigration. At present, the German government has no specific requirements on age, education and language, and the examination conditions are relatively relaxed, but I believe this relaxed condition will change with the rapid increase of China applicants in the future.

According to Zhonghe's experience: "The applicant's education level, English (German) level and work experience can prove helpful to work in Germany"; "It has a good business background and the parent company in China is in good operating condition"; "For applicants aged between 25 and 45 with strong strength, the upper age limit can be relaxed." This is very beneficial to the application.

3. What are the benefits and rewards for companies registered in Germany?

Nowadays, with its perfect investment environment, preferential policies and excellent quality of life, Germany is becoming a new hot spot for China people to work, invest and live overseas.

(1) Good investment environment. Germany is a world economic power, which is strong because it has a large number of preferential policies to encourage entrepreneurship. German federal government and state governments have many policies in attracting foreign investment, investment and entrepreneurship, such as some economic promotion measures and financing measures. German industry and commerce, banking, taxation, finance, law, insurance and other departments provide many services to support investors in Germany.

(2) 15 country is freely convertible. Because Germany is one of the Schengen countries and has a long-term residence permit in Germany, it can freely pass through 15 Schengen countries (Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland and Sweden). After the enlargement of the European Union, there are 25 member countries with a population of 453 million, which is the most ideal investment and trade zone at present.

(3) In order to promote the development of your enterprise in China, you can use your German company to establish a joint venture or a wholly-owned enterprise with your China company and enjoy all the preferential policies brought by it.

(4) Your German company can apply for a trademark and register a brand in Germany, which will help you quickly establish a well-known trademark and seize the international and domestic markets. Similarly, you can also introduce famous German brands into China and develop your career in China.

(5) In order to seek external development, many German enterprises have a strong desire for deep cooperation with China enterprises. China enterprises invest in Germany, cooperate with German enterprises, use German advanced technology and sales network to improve product quality and market share, which will help China products to open up a broad world market. Many China products have fierce competition in the domestic market and little profit margin, but there are great business opportunities and profit margins in Europe.

(6) being accompanied by family. After your success, your family can go to Germany to work, study and live. While the business is booming, it also creates a good living environment for my family.

(7) Children enjoy free education. After your children arrive in Germany, they will enjoy the same excellent education as German children from kindergarten to primary school to university.

(8) Enjoy the social welfare of the German government. Germany is a welfare country and has established a wide range of social welfare systems, from sickness, nursing, accident and old-age security to child subsidies and housing subsidies.

4. What are the conditions for naturalization?

Chapter 5 of the German Immigration Law stipulates German citizenship. The relevant conditions are as follows:

(1) has lived legally in Germany for 8 years;

(2) If you recognize the basic provisions of the German Basic Law on Freedom and Democracy, declare that you will not participate in or participate in activities that violate the laws on freedom and democracy, or take violent or threatening actions against Germany's foreign-related needs, or have the above history, you can persuade the relevant parties to leave that history. Article 10 stipulates that minor children under 16 are not subject to these regulations;

(4) Abandoning or losing one's original nationality due to naturalization;

5. What was the birth status of the child in Germany before obtaining permanent residency?

If a child was born in Germany before obtaining permanent residency, his status will follow his parents, that is, if his parents have stayed for a long time, then the child will stay for a long time.

The German Nationality Law, which came into effect on June 65438+1 October1,2000, is the first time in German history to conditionally recognize dual nationality, changing the traditional method of determining nationality from "bloodline theory" to "birthplace theory". According to the provisions of the Nationality Law, all foreign children born in Germany will automatically enjoy German nationality from the date of birth as long as one of their parents has resided in Germany continuously and legally for more than 8 years and permanently for at least 3 years. When he reaches the age of 23, he must choose between German nationality and the nationality of his foreign parents. If you choose German nationality, you must give up other nationalities, but you can have dual or multiple nationalities only if it is impossible to give up non-German nationality.

6. How do family members immigrate together?

After the applicant has obtained a long-term commercial residence, especially after the German company is basically ready, the immigration application of family members (referring to spouses and children under 16) will be started. The processing cycle of SAFE varies from place to place, generally about 3-5 months.

7. What are the requirements for residence after obtaining a visa?

According to German law, foreigners with long-term residence permits cannot leave Germany for more than six months.

8. Children's education?

The German Basic Law stipulates that everyone has the right to free development, free choice of schools, free choice of vocational training, free choice of jobs and employment. The purpose of education and training policy is to provide everyone with education and training opportunities suitable for their personal interests and abilities.

Germany has a perfect education system, from basic education in primary and secondary schools to higher education in university research institutes, from special vocational education to complete adult re-education, all of which are free (except private schools). The state has invested heavily in education.

After four years of primary education, students enter different secondary schools to complete secondary education.

There is no national or statewide college entrance examination in Germany. Secondary school graduates in 65,438+03 or the equivalent of 65,438+03 are eligible to take the college entrance examination when they graduate from secondary school.

Students are free to choose universities and majors. However, due to the relatively large number of applicants for medical, legal and psychological majors, the national "study place allocation center" is responsible for allocating new places for the above majors nationwide.

China children come to Germany with their parents, enjoy free education from primary school to university, and are free to choose schools. If the child is young or has a good English level, he can go directly to primary school; Older students (for example, 12, 13) can go to international schools (mainly for international students) or international classes in primary and secondary schools. In addition to learning key languages, you can also learn other subjects such as mathematics, and then transfer to an ordinary primary and secondary school or other classes in the same school.
