You won't hesitate to immigrate to Germany's people-friendly policy!

# German Immigrants # Introduction Many immigrants choose to emigrate overseas for their children, and some Chinese immigrants to Germany are also out of this consideration. Is it worthwhile to immigrate to Germany for children? You won't hesitate after you know the family-friendly policy in Germany! UNICEF said that "family-friendly policy" means "providing children with a better starting point in life" and parents can better coordinate work and family life. The following is compiled and published!

1. German family-friendly policy

From the website of the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs (Senior, Frauenundjugend), we can see that Germany's family-friendly policy is mainly embodied in eight aspects: 1. Elterngeldundergeldplus Parents Fund.

2.Elternzeit parental leave

3. Kindergarten Children's Fund

4. Freiberte? According to the tax situation of parents' income, GefürKinder's second child allowance is optional.

5.Mutterschaftsgeld maternity allowance

6.Mutterschutzgesetz maternity protection regulations

7. Child allowance for low-income families)

8. Child allowance for single-parent families

Let's pick a few points:

Since July 2065438 1, the children's allowance has gone up again!

In Germany, children can receive child allowance every month from birth to 18 years old. From July this year, the first and second children receive 1 94 euros per month, the third child receives 2 10 euros per month, and the fourth child receives 235 euros.

Enhance parents' golden attack -Eltergeldplus

In April this year, the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs launched an enhanced version of the parents' pension ---- ElterngeldPlus.

Its function is to strengthen the harmony and balance between parents' care for their children and family life, especially those parents who want to work part-time while receiving parental allowance.

With the increase of parental allowance, parents can apply for parental allowance for a longer time than before.

For example, mothers take parental leave 10 months after the baby is born and receive full parental allowance. During this period, my father worked full-time. From 1 1 month, mothers can start working part-time and apply for enhanced parental allowance. At the same time, fathers can adjust to part-time jobs to take care of their children. If the father works every week, he can also apply for an increased parental allowance.

The father or mother of a single-parent family can apply for the enhanced parental allowance in full.

According to the report of the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, the enhanced parental pension is very popular with families. More than three-quarters of the respondents think that the enhanced parental pension is very good. 20 18 in the first quarter, 30.9% (even as high as 40.7% in some areas) of parents who applied for parental allowance chose to apply for enhanced parental allowance.

Extra-long parental leave

In Germany, every parent has the right to take parental leave and take care of and raise their children until they are three years old.

During the period of parental leave, work is suspended, but the employment relationship still exists. After the end of parental leave, the child's father or mother has the right to resume work in the original work unit.

During parental leave, a maximum of 30 hours of part-time work per week is allowed.

Both parents can enjoy three years of parental leave at the same time.

Generally speaking, Germany's family-friendly policy is beyond the reach of many other countries, so if you want to consider immigration in order to provide a better growth environment for your children, Germany is definitely your ideal immigration country.

2. What should new immigrants in Germany pay attention to?

1. culture

Adaptation "adaptation" refers to understanding the culture, language and the place where you will live. This seems obvious, but what surprises me is how many new immigrants fail to do this. You are moving to a country with a new culture and language, which is completely different from your previous habits. At least don't go to German-speaking Europe without some basic preparation.

Passport and visa

Of course, you know that you need a passport and a residence visa to stay in Germany for more than 90 days. However, please make sure that your passport and the passports of all family members are valid not only during your work in Germany, but also for at least four months thereafter. If a person's passport expires too early, he needs to renew it before going to Germany or any other European country.

You can't work in Germany without a valid work visa. American and Canadian citizens can stay in Germany for 90 days without a visa (but are not allowed to work). You can apply for a residence/work visa after you arrive in Germany, but you must apply before the expiration of 90 days. Sometimes your German employer will help, but in the end, it's your responsibility.

Step 3: house

Will you sell your existing house or rent it? Will you live in a temporary residential area in Germany, or buy or rent a house before you arrive? Do you know the house price in Germany? (We mentioned "living expenses" in 1. Generally speaking, the cost in Germany is higher than that in the United States or Canada, especially in big cities. In order to keep the budget unchanged, you may have to reduce the size or accommodation. It will help if your employer also provides housing subsidies, but please make sure that this is realistic for Germany.

4. Transportation of household goods and cars

This is a very important decision. You need to know some important facts about importing household goods into Germany or any other European country. The Federal Republic of Germany and People's Republic of China (PRC) have special laws and regulations on the import of household goods, including automobiles.

5. Driving in Germany

Do you really need a car? In Germany, this is actually a rational question! But this is also the place of the highway! If you choose to own a car in Germany, can you drive legally? Foreigners who have lived in Germany for one year or less can hold American or Canadian driver's licenses, but you need a German driver's license.

6. Doctors and prescriptions

Drugs You should take any prescription drugs that you or your family need to take for 90 days. German pharmacies will not write prescriptions from the United States or Canada unless they first convert the prescriptions into German. You should find a local doctor as soon as possible. You can ask for a doctor's prescription and your family's medical needs.

7. Book your flight in advance.

Once you have confirmed your international behavior, please book flights for you and your family. The sooner you do this operation, the better. Airlines charge higher fees for flights booked shortly before departure. Planning ahead can save money. If possible, we should leave enough time for German delivery before the actual work begins.

In order to avoid unnecessary economic losses for citizens, the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassies and consulates in Germany reminded most immigrants to abide by the relevant entry regulations of the European Union and Germany.
