Is it difficult to immigrate to Germany? What are the requirements?

Germany is a non-immigrant country, and citizens of all non-EU countries, including China, cannot emigrate to Germany in principle. 1978, Germany promulgated the Law on Entry and Residence, which stipulated that foreign immigrants should meet the following conditions: having a fixed residence and mastering German; Live continuously for more than 5 years; If you can live independently, you can get an indefinite residence permit. If you stay continuously for more than 8 years, you can get permanent residency.

1979, the restrictions on the entry and reunion of children of foreign immigrant spouses were lifted, and it was stipulated that immigrant spouses and children under the age of 16 could be reunited after waiting for four years.

Previously, the conditions for applying for a German immigrant visa were:

1. Parents (including adoptive parents) and spouses of German citizens;

2.2/kloc-children of german citizens under 0/year old abroad;

3. German citizens who have settled abroad and have no children to rely on;

4. Other foreigners who meet the requirements of German immigration law. Germany has not formulated a complete set of immigration laws for a long time. Germany's ruling and opposition parties quarreled fiercely, and reluctantly passed a regulation on the visa for computer talents, which came into effect on August 1 2000 and was placed under the Aliens Act. The visa issued according to this regulation is a "five-year visa" that is generally mistaken for a "green card".

Of course, it should be noted that in order to attract urgently needed talents, although Germany still can't come up with a complete set of immigration laws or regulations that can issue green cards in essence, Germany has made great efforts because the immigration problem has been plaguing the German government. The immigration problem is always intertwined with the refugee problem. On the one hand, because Germany provoked world wars twice in a row, the German government had to take on more obligations in accepting refugees and was forced to accept a large number of non-professional refugees; On the other hand, due to the high unemployment rate in Germany, we have to be cautious about immigration. Even so, the German government still insists on the non-immigration policy, so that many foreign talents who have enjoyed free higher education in Germany have been found to have taken advantage of by other countries without the right of abode in Germany. However, if investing in Germany can bring benefits to this country, the German government will issue you a green card after the company has been in operation for three years.
