Can an Indian Become a Permanent Resident of
Germany?
Germany has always been a desirable place to live
because of its stable economy, excellent
employment opportunities, and overall high
quality of life. While you can come to Germany on
a tourist visa, the most common way to move here
permanently (other than by marrying a German
citizen) is through obtaining a residence permit
or Aufenthaltserlaubnis in German. According to
the new German skilled immigration act, you can
apply for permanent residency if you live in
Germany legally for five years said a leading
Germany visa consultant in Hyderabad. You must
have lived in Germany for at least 18 months each
year during those five years. Even, this is
possible to apply only after three years if you
are married to a German citizen or if your
children are citizens and live in Germany. If you
fulfil these requirements, it is time to decide
whether or not you want permanent
residency. There are two kinds of resident
permits temporary and permanent. The
requirements for each are different. If you want
to stay in Germany for more than three months,
you need a residence permit. This is valid for
one year and can be extended. However, if you
want to stay in Germany permanently, you will
need a permanent residence permit. If you are
going to Germany to study for a short-term
period, it is better to apply for a visa before
leaving your country, as getting a work permit
while in Germany is not easy. After your visa
expires, you must leave Germany and apply from
outside. Once you get approval from the embassy,
you can come back again, here comes a vital role
of an experienced Germany visa consultant who can
guide you. The permanent permit is given to
people who have been granted a visa, which allows
them to live and work in Germany. This visa can
be applied for after you have lived in Germany
for five years on your temporary residence
permit. Once you have received your permanent
residence, you can stay in Germany indefinitely
as long as you continue to meet all of your
obligations under German law. Those who are
extremely professional and want to work in
Germany need to prove that they have enough
funds to support themselves for at least six
months. If youre self-employed, you need to
show that your business is profitable. The
federal employment agency of Germany approved
that if an applicant has more than 1,600 per
month income, they will be eligible for
