It should be noted here that if students are engaged in internship during their studies in universities, they need to provide a certificate of introducing internship positions issued by the German Federal Labor Bureau or the International Federation of Economic and Business Students. In other words, if your current job at school is an internship at school, you must issue an internship certificate.

Step 3: Apply for an EU blue card and obtain legal residency.

The situation now is that you have already started working.

The contract should indicate that the total annual income is at least 46,400 euros (at least 3,665,438 euros +092 euros for natural scientists, mathematicians, engineers, doctors or IT professionals).

Blue card holders can live in the EU without restrictions and enjoy social welfare benefits. It is not only a residence permit, but also an unrestricted work permit. In addition, families of blue card holders do not need to apply for additional work permits, and they are free to choose jobs in Germany.

Step 4: Hold a blue card, work in Germany, and apply for German citizenship after meeting the requirements.
