How many years does it take to get a German green card and a Master of Mechanical Engineering?

European officials do not have a "green card". If the "green card" is understood as a permanent residence permit, it is suggested that the subject:

Master of Mechanical Engineering (3~4 years)-Looking for a job after graduation (0.5~ 1 year)-Looking for a job, applying for a blue card, paying taxes and social security (2 1~33 months)-Changing permanent residence.

German master's degree system is generally 2 years, and language learning needs 1 year. In view of the difficulty of mechanical major, it should take almost four years to graduate from master's degree. German students have a year and a half to find a job after graduation, and they must return to China if they work overtime.

Just pay attention to finding a job with an annual salary of 38,688 euros before tax according to the requirements of the European blue card policy. Getting a green card through a blue card is a shortcut.

To sum up, you can get a "green card" in six to seven years.
