Details of the four main ways of German immigration

# German Immigrants # Introduction Germany is the most economically developed country in the world. What are the ways to immigrate to Germany? Here, I have sorted out four main ways of German immigration for you, hoping to help you.

1. Four main ways of German immigration

First, study abroad

The study visa is based on article 16 of the German Aliens Act, and can be changed into a work visa with article 18 after graduation. After working for two years, you can apply for permanent residence in Germany by paying two years' pension insurance (which will be deducted directly from your salary), which is the so-called green card.

Second, investment immigration: set up a company and apply for a legal person visa.

The handling of corporate visas needs to comply with the provisions of Article 2 1 of the German Aliens Act. This clause requires the applicant's company to have local public interests, and the units that evaluate the applicant's visa are the foreign exchange administration and the chamber of commerce.

Treatment conditions:

Whether the applicant meets the criteria for applying for a company visa is whether the applicant has many years of business experience in China, whether he has a company, and whether the company has had business dealings with Germany or the European Union.

If you don't look at the above problems, the success rate of corporate visas is relatively low.

If you have obtained a legal person visa for three years after approval, you can get a German green card.

Processing steps:

1 Prepare relevant notarial documents required for the establishment of the company.

2 notarization

Open a German company account.

Submit to the court for industrial and commercial registration.

Prepare business plans, financial plans, resumes of applicants, etc.

German consulate submits visa application and signs it in person.

7 get a visa

Third, the work visa.

Another way is to apply for an employee visa. The applicant must have a German company as the employer, and the employee visa should be handled in accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of the German Law on Foreigners. This law requires applicants to have a labor contract that conforms to the German labor law, pay in line with local German standards, and have excellent academic qualifications and foreign language skills. They can apply for a German green card five years after obtaining an employee visa.

Process:

1 Find a German employer

Prepare work contract, job description, job evaluation, resume, work certificate and other documents.

3 labor bureau audit

The German consulate submits the visa application and signs it.

5 get a visa

Four. EU blue card visa

The blue card visa must comply with Article 19 of the Aliens Law, which is a work permit issued by EU countries to attract technicians from all over the world to work and live in the EU. The application condition is that there is a German company as the employer, and the annual salary before tax reaches 50.800 euros. If there are scarce industries, such as natural science, mathematics, architecture, urban planning and transportation planning, engineers, human medicine (except dentists), IT, etc. The annual salary can be reduced to 39.624 euros. After obtaining a blue card visa, you can apply for a German green card in 2 1 month at the earliest. If you don't have German ability, you can apply for a German green card in 33 months.

If the conditions are met, the blue card should be regarded as the fastest way to obtain German immigration status, and the green card can be obtained as soon as 2 1 month. The application procedure is the same as the above employee visa, except that the blue card visa requires higher salary and personal conditions.

2. What are the advantages of immigrating to Germany?

1.？ Maternity welfare

Maternity benefits: Women of childbearing age enjoy legal protection against dismissal during pregnancy and in the short term after delivery, and continue to enjoy wages. Both husband and wife can enjoy welfare together, apply for childcare for a total of three years, and continue to enjoy part of their wages. The German government's subsidies for raising children are really great. When a child is born, the government gives a subsidy of about 1000 euros, and 18 months for babies, about 300 euros per month. Euro milk powder subsidizes money.

Parenting benefits: the new Kindergeld (children's gold) is 20 17, the first two children are about 192 euros per month, the third child is about 198 euros per month, and the fourth child is 223 euros. Every child can get 18 years old. If he/kloc-wants to continue studying after 0/8 years old, he can get 25 years old. If he doesn't study or find a job, he can get 2 1 year.

2.？ employee benefits

Prohibition of working on holidays and rest days: In terms of labor protection policies, national laws strictly prohibit the recruitment of child labor, prohibit young workers under 18 from working at night, prohibit working on rest days and holidays, and prohibit pregnant women from working for six weeks before delivery and eight weeks after delivery. In addition to two days off every week, every worker enjoys six weeks paid vacation every year.

Germans work 187 days a year and rest 178 days: what Germans want now is not more income, but more free time. The current situation in Germany is that one year 187 days work and 178 days rest. Weekend is 102 days, plus more than 40 days of paid holidays, and Christmas, Halloween and Easter holidays are more than 20 days.

In Germany, once a company defaults on its employees' wages, the government will pay them first. How much money enterprises owe their employees, the government will give them money to go home first, and then it will become a matter between the government and illegal enterprises. The German government will send police stations and procuratorates to intervene in wage arrears.

Wages only increase but not decrease: in Germany, changes in workers' wages can only be changed in the direction of benefiting workers, that is, wages can only increase but not decrease, even if enterprises close down. If the enterprise really goes bankrupt, then the back salary will be paid by the government.

Workers with work-related injuries can get compensation: in terms of work-related injury insurance, employees do not need to pay insurance premiums, and once an accident occurs, the insurance agency is responsible for providing full compensation. In addition, once an industrial accident occurs, the boss will lose money. So German machines are generally safe.

3.？ social security

Enjoy superior social security: in terms of unemployment insurance, workers who have paid compulsory insurance for at least 360 days in the three years before unemployment can receive unemployment insurance. If you need to raise a child, you can get 68% of your salary. If you have no children, you can get 63% of your salary. In terms of old-age insurance, all men over 65 and women over 60 are entitled to a normal old-age pension as long as they pay half of the insurance premium (equivalent to seven years' insurance premium) in 15, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the net salary. It's the same for everyone, the principal, the prime minister, the kindergarten aunt on the primary school campus, and everyone is 2/3 of the salary.

Social welfare: In Germany, all people who can't help themselves or get help from other sources can get social and economic benefits. According to the Law on Social Assistance, every resident of the Federal Republic of Germany, whether German or foreign, can apply for social assistance, including subsidies or care under special living conditions such as cost of living allowance or disability, illness or nursing. Social relief funds are mainly provided by local governments.

Free education: children who immigrate to Germany can enjoy free education, including kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and even universities in Germany (the free policy is limited to public schools, and fees are still charged for attending private universities). German universities have a large number of grants, and students from poor families can also apply for grants. In addition, there is no college entrance examination in Germany. After obtaining a German high school diploma, children can choose to attend a comprehensive university or vocational college. German universities do not distribute teaching materials. If you read a book, you can go to the library, take notes in class, or download handouts from the professor's personal homepage. The dining halls of German universities are rich in dishes, sufficient in weight, safe and hygienic, and cheap.

Housing allowance: according to the federal housing allowance law, housing allowance is a subsidy for the rent of those who have legal requirements or the economic burden caused by personal purchase. By providing housing subsidies, the burden of rent and house purchase should not exceed the financial ability of families or single people. Housing subsidies are only provided to families with relatively low incomes.

Medical insurance: In Germany, the coverage rate of medical insurance is basically 100%, and almost every resident is a member of legal or private medical insurance institutions. German law stipulates that anyone who does not meet the conditions of private insurance must participate in statutory medical insurance, and the insurance fund shall not make risk selection for the insured, and the insurance premium shall be borne by the employer and the employee 50% respectively. For employees who meet the requirements of participating in statutory medical insurance, their family members can enjoy all the benefits of medical insurance together.
