What's wrong with German immigrants?

At present, due to economic reasons, many German enterprises have deliberately opened up an open immigration policy, which is called the EU blue card, also known as the German blue card. What's wrong with German immigrants? Welcome to read!

What's wrong with German immigrants?

1. Are there any requirements for employers to apply for the EU Blue Card?

In order to attract foreign high-tech talents to work in Germany, the EU blue card policy has always been regarded as a cost-effective way to immigrate to Germany. The EU blue card is not only an unrestricted work permit, but also a residence permit. In addition, families of blue card holders are free to choose jobs in Germany without applying for additional work permits.

As for the requirements for employers who provide jobs, first of all, they must be German companies or companies registered in Germany; Secondly, can this company operate normally and have the ability to give you the salary developed to the blue card standard line; Then, it is whether the business operated by this company is consistent with your education or previous work experience. Although these are not explicit provisions for applying for the EU blue card, they are also conditions that need to be considered when the SAFE examines.

2. In Germany, which industries are not allowed to invest?

First of all, in the field of commercial investment, Germany has no laws and regulations for foreign-funded enterprises, and the fields that German investors are allowed to enter are generally not limited to foreign investors. At present, only the construction and operation of nuclear power plants and nuclear waste treatment projects are explicitly prohibited. However, investment and operation in many industries need the approval of the competent authorities of the German government, such as construction, banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals and so on. It is these complicated and strict examination and approval procedures that greatly hinder China enterprises from successfully investing in related industries in Germany.

As for the form of investment management, there are two situations. In the first case, investing in this industry from abroad to Germany can be realized by setting up a company; Second, if you are already in Germany and have relevant work permits and identities, you can directly buy German companies in your own name and invest in related industries.

In addition, if the R&D of scientific research innovative enterprises is carried out in Germany, and their projects meet some specific categories in Germany, they can also apply for industry associations or foundations in this industry.

3. Can I change my job after I get the German blue card?

This situation can be analyzed in combination with specific circumstances. If the salary of this follow-up job does not meet the blue card standard, then it is very likely that the immigration office will refuse to renew your blue card.

Because you are a blue card for the salary of your first job, or even family reunion, the Immigration Bureau will consider whether you can continue to protect the life of the whole family by changing from high salary to low salary; But if they think that the overall economy is declining, so it doesn't hurt to lower their wages, that's fine.

4. Do companies registered in Germany have any requirements for registered address?

In the process of establishing a company, important documents are often sent by official German institutions, so the company name must be affixed to the mailbox so that someone can receive the mailbox, otherwise the postman will not deliver it, or people from the Finance Bureau will come to the door and no one will collect it, which will delay the establishment of the company or apply for the tax number.

Also, if you rent a house by yourself, you need to get the consent of the landlord to see if you can post the company name on the mailbox. If it is a residential area, it may also be influenced by neighbors, fearing that people entering and leaving the company will affect their lives.

If you want to save costs, you can consider using virtual offices, which are found in some big cities, such as Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich.

5. Are there any requirements for partners and children when applying for family reunion?

According to German law, the family reunion policy is mainly applied to nuclear family members, that is, partners and minor children (1under 8 years old), who enjoy the right to reunite with their relatives in Germany. Generally speaking, you can get permanent residency in Germany after holding a family reunion visa for five years, but it does not rule out that you can apply for permanent residency in Germany in advance in some cases.

For children, there are not many requirements when applying for family reunion. In addition, many families who immigrated to Germany initially held the idea of letting their children go to kindergartens and primary schools in Germany, so the children are generally very young and there are basically no restrictions. If you have to ask, take 16 years old and 18 years old as the dividing line:

For children under the age of 16, there are not many restrictions on German safes. As long as the applicant meets the requirements and the submitted materials are complete, there is basically no problem; But over 16 years old, except for some special circumstances, it is necessary to provide proof of good knowledge of German (C 1 standard) or other proof that minors can adapt to life in Germany through their study and living environment so far.

The issuance of the German Blue Card will help more highly educated and capable talents to stay in Germany. To sum up, the German blue card is not permanent. For the change of German investment, the German Immigration Bureau needs to consider you in all aspects before continuing to issue it. Therefore, there are more or less uncertainties.

First, entrepreneurs who are optimistic about the German investment market.

China is now the country with the largest number of investment projects in Germany, surpassing the United States (second place) and Switzerland (third place). Among China enterprises investing in Europe, 63% chose Germany as their investment destination.

The specific reasons for the good business environment in Germany include: many commercial modernization laws have greatly guaranteed and tilted the entrepreneur market and increased the confidence of entrepreneurs.

Enterprise visa is the choice for entrepreneurs to immigrate. They invest in a project that they completely control and run the company according to their business needs. In the absence of rigid requirements such as turnover and number of employees, you can become a permanent resident only by operating normally for 3 years according to the business plan.

Second, people who value their children's education and their own education.

As the birthplace of nine-year compulsory education, Germany has always been highly respected by the global education community. Whether in the construction of new majors or the improvement of school infrastructure, the German government invests a lot of money in education every year.

Germany's social welfare is world-famous. Its medical security system is very sound, and the insurance coverage rate is as high as 100%. If one person is insured, the whole family will benefit.

After obtaining German residence status, you can enjoy benefits such as spouse's legal work, free education for children, and equal childcare allowance. Even for those who are eager for a high-quality pension environment in the future, it is a wise choice.

Fourth, the management of the enterprise seeks a comfortable working environment.

Extended reading: a common misunderstanding of German immigrants

1. Do German immigrants become German citizens?

Immigrants do not necessarily become German citizens. German immigration refers to obtaining permanent residency in Germany without having to join German nationality; Becoming a German citizen means becoming a German citizen from China.

Simply put, immigrants and naturalized people will enjoy basically the same economic treatment, but the political treatment will be different.

After entering German nationality, you will have the right to vote and stand for election in Germany.

However, entering Germany will also bring some inconvenience. The most important thing is that China does not recognize dual nationality, which means that if you have German nationality, you have to give up your China nationality automatically. If you want to return to China in the future, you need to apply for a visa at the Chinese Embassy in Germany.

At the same time, after German naturalization, it will be more difficult to inherit the property in China.

As a nation that pays attention to "returning the fallen leaves to the roots", we grew up on the land of China, sucking the showers of the mother river and flowing the blood of Chinese people. Even if we have German nationality, it is difficult for us to become real China people. This psychological gap will also affect us to some extent.

After obtaining long-term residency, you can enjoy first-class education in Germany for free; Free access to quality medical care in Germany; Enable spouses and children to obtain German residence permits; There are no restrictions on childbirth, and children can receive child welfare every month; Free access to the 26 Schengen countries of the European Union; You can send invitations to family and friends; After 36 months, he will live permanently; And after 8 years, you can choose to join German nationality.

For most people in China, they just want to immigrate to Germany, and there is no great demand for German nationality.

Second, do immigrants have to settle in Germany?

Immigration is just an identity category issued by Germany to foreigners, which means you have the right to stay in Germany. As for when to live in Germany and how long to live in Germany, it's up to you to choose.

Most countries have "immigration supervision", such as Canada and the United States. The name itself is a very vivid metaphor-if you want to immigrate, you must not leave the country where you want to immigrate for a long time, just like in prison. If you exceed the time limit, your green card will be lost.

Germany is a country without "immigration supervision", and the restrictions on immigration are very loose. Applicants who immigrate through the German legal person visa only need to land in Germany once every six months during the long-term residence card.

3. Can I immigrate to Germany if I don't know German?

When many people arrive in a country where the language is not fluent, it is inevitable that they will doubt themselves and think it is difficult for them to integrate.

In fact, this fear of self-degradation is the first factor that hinders us.

Germans start from middle school, and the school will offer courses related to a second foreign language, so most Germans are proficient in 1-2 foreign languages.

Now Germans are more inclined to learn English and take English as their first foreign language. Many people in China praised the English level of the Germans after they came back from their travels in Germany.
