there is an interest or need from the region;
it is expected that the chosen type of activity will have a positive impact on the economy as a whole;
the applicant has adequate financing for doing business.
The minimum amount of investment in the business is not legally established in Germany.
Working visa to Germany / Blue card EU
In the case of an employment contract with a German employer, immigration to Germany is possible on the basis of employment.
To obtain a work visa, a German employer must obtain a work permit with the involvement of the Federal Employment Agency of Germany. Among other things, it is necessary to prove that there are no suitable candidates among the residents of Germany.
A simplified version of a work visa is to obtain a so-called Blue Card EU. It was created for highly skilled workers.
The EU Blue Card may be issued to foreign nationals from non-EU countries if:
they have recognized higher education and at least five years of experience in the profession they intend to pursue in Germany;
have a working contract in Germany with an annual salary of at least 49,600 Euros.
Family reunification in Germany
This group includes:
reunion with spouse or same-sex partner;
marriage and further permanent residence in Germany;
reunification of minor children with their parents;
reunification of a parent with a German child;
reunification of other family members.
Permanent residence permit in Germany
After residing in Germany for five years, a permanent residence permit can be legally required. In some cases, the five-year term can be shortened, in particular for graduates of German universities, participants of the Blue Card EU program, and highly qualified specialists.
How to obtain German citizenship
The legislation provides for the possibility to obtain a passport of a German citizen:
on the basis of origin, if one or both parents are German nationals;
on the basis of birth on the territory of Germany, provided that the parents are residents of Germany and have resided in the country for at least 8 last years;
