After obtaining permanent residence in Germany, can I not naturalize? Do I need to renew my permanent residence visa? What are the conditions?

Obtained permanent residence (green card) or acquired German citizenship. Both parties, namely Chinese nationality and permanent residence, can coexist; if it is the latter, China does not recognize dual nationality. After joining German nationality, you will automatically withdraw from Chinese nationality.

If you want to restore your nationality, you should submit an application to the Consular Department of the Chinese Embassy in Germany. The main materials are as follows:

1. Application form for restoring the nationality of the People's Republic of China.

2. A written application letter for restoration of Chinese nationality, stating the reasons for requesting restoration of Chinese nationality.

3. A copy of the applicant’s foreign passport.

4. Relevant certificates of having ever held Chinese nationality.

5. Other materials considered by the accepting agency to be relevant to the application for restoration of nationality.

Extended information:

The so-called agreement on property rights must be reached by the parties in front of a notary, and no conditions or time limits are allowed. According to German residence ownership law, building plans certified by the building authority must be presented to the registration authority when registering. The establishment period of the long-term residence right shall be agreed upon by both parties, and may also be indefinite.

This right can be transferred or inherited, or the usufruct rights can be set for the subject matter, and the place subject to the right can also be used by others for loan or lease. When the right of continuation of residence is transferred, the transferee shall inherit the rights and obligations of the loan or lease and the obligations to the land owner. The emergence of this limited property right reflects the trend of real rights in leasehold rights in modern civil law.
