How to get a Residence Permit in Germany

Residence Permit Germany

  1. Citizens of the European Union do not need any residence permit in Germany.

  2. All foreigners from outside the EU who wish to remain in Germany for longer than three months must obtain a residence permit

  3. Citizens from some countries (including the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, New Zealand and Switzerland) are allowed entry into Germany without a visa and may apply for a residence permit while in the country.

  4. A limited residence permit is valid for a certain period of time and is issued for a certain purpose:
    • residence for educational purposes
    • residence for the purpose of economic activity
    • residence under international law or on humanitarian or political grounds
    • residence for family reasons
      The Aufenthaltserlaubnis does not automatically grant the right to work; instead the permission to work must be explicitly mentioned in the document.

  5. An unlimited residence permit is a permanent residence permit. It grants the right to live and work in Germany under EU law. A foreigner receives a settlement permit if:
    • he or she has held a residence permit for five years
    • his or her livelihood is secure
    • he or she is permitted to work
    • he or she possesses sufficient living space for himself or herself and the members of his or her family forming part of his or her household

  6. The residence permit contains security features, i.e. multicoloured guillochés
